U.S., Afghan Forces Kill Suspected Militant, Capture Relative of Taliban Leader; American Soldier Wounded


KABUL, Afghanistan (AP) - Afghan and U.S. forces killed one militant and captured five others Tuesday, including a brother-in-law of Taliban leader Mullah Omar. An American soldier reportedly was wounded in a separate attack.
On Tuesday night, two rockets were fired into Kabul, blowing a hole in a busy main road and landing near a downtown theater. There were no casualties. Police Chief Gen. Baba Jan blamed "the enemies of Afghanistan and its people" - shorthand here for Taliban militants and followers of warlords opposed to Karzai's government.

Earlier, President Hamid Karzai tried to quell a threat to upcoming national elections by shifting three militia commanders to different posts. Karzai has said warlords - not the Taliban - are the greatest threat to Afghanistan's recovery from more than two decades of fighting.

Mullah Amanullah, brother-in-law of the fugitive Taliban leader, was detained near Deh Rawood, Omar's hometown in Uruzgan province, 250 miles southwest of the capital, Kabul, police chief Rozi Khan told The Associated Press.
