Afghan forces have killed two Taliban commanders and arrested two others in Nagarhar province 120 km east of Kabul, spokesman for provincial administration Ahmad Zia Abdulzai said Tuesday.

"Afghan forces backed by the NATO-led coalition troops raided a Taliban hideout in Khogyani district late Monday night and killed two Taliban commanders named Mullah Azatullah and Mullah Safatullah," Abdulzai told Xinhua.

Two more Taliban commanders named Mullah Shaheen and Bismillah were injured and arrested, he added.

Taliban militants fighting the government and NATO-led troops have yet to comment.
