Six insurgents, including three Pakistani nationals, were captured by Afghan security forces in southern Kandahar province, the provincial arm of the National Department of Security (NDS) said. “The men have confessed that they were behind the assassination of several tribal elders in the province,” the NDS said in a statement Sunday. However, it did not provide more details about the insurgents. Insurgents are active in Kandahar province, targeting government sites and local police checkpoints.
