KABUL, Afghanistan - Afghan National Army soldiers, assisted by Coalition forces, captured Taliban commander Mullah Shah Mohammed in the village of Dizak, Farah province, June 12.

The Afghan forces and their coalition counterparts were conducting a clearing operation in the village to disrupt militant activity, in support of the security and stability of Afghanistan.

During a search of the area, the friendly forces discovered and detained Mullah Shah Mohammed, a known militant leader.  A cache containing multiple weapons, homemade explosives and opium was removed from Mohammed's compound during the sweep of the area.

During a continued search of the area, the combined force was attacked by militant gun fire.  After positively identifying the enemy fighting positions, the friendly forces responded with small-arms fire, eliminating several enemy fighters. 

After the operation was complete, the combined forces held a key leader engagement with village elders to explain the purpose of the mission.

There were no Afghan National Army, Coalition force or non-combatant casualties.
