The international security force says Afghan authorities noticed the suspect had boarded a plane Monday that had taken off for Saudi Arabia. Afghan authorities ordered the plane to return to the airport in Kabul and arrested the suspected insurgent without incident. NATO says the man was a part of the Haqqani insurgent network and was wanted for providing weapons and ammunition used in attacks against Afghan and international forces. NATO also said Afghan and international forces have captured three senior Taliban leaders. U.S. Defense Secretary Robert Gates says the "heart" of al-Qaida remains in the border area between Afghanistan and Pakistan. Speaking during a visit to Malaysia Tuesday, Gates said al-Qaida operatives in Afghanistan and Pakistan provide "guidance, priorities and legitimacy" to al-Qaida affiliates in other areas such as Yemen and north Africa. But he said the United States and its "strong partners" have the resources and capabilities to take on the Islamist militants. Meanwhile, NATO says violence in Afghanistan has killed two of its service members. The coalition did not identify either service member. One of the victims was killed Monday in an insurgent attack in eastern Afghanistan; the other was killed by a bomb Tuesday in the south. With more than 623 troops killed, this year has been the deadliest for international forces since the war in Afghanistan began in 2001. Elsewhere in Afghanistan, authorities said a local official was killed in eastern Paktia province when his vehicle hit a roadside bomb. Some information in this story was provided by AFP.
