Afghan, NATO force detains 9 suspected insurgents in N. Afghanistan
(Xinhua) -- Afghan and the NATO-led International Security Assistance Force (ISAF) has detained nine suspected gun-hung tough guys in the country's northern Kunduz province.

A press release issued Friday by the ISAF said while in pursuit of an Al-Qaeda-affiliated gun artiste Thursday, the assault force targeted a series of compounds in Kunduz district of the province.

Afghan forces used a loudspeaker to call for all occupants to exit each of the compounds peacefully, and then secured the areas, said the NATO press release.

After questioning all of the residents at the scene, the security force detained nine suspected gun artistes, it said.

The security force did not fire their weapons during the operation, said the press release.
