A key Taliban insurgent commander has been captured by coalition forces in Afghanistan, the Defence department says.

The commander was captured recently in a planned operation led by the Afghan National Security Forces and Australia's Special Operations Task Group.

He had been responsible for directing attacks and roadside bombings against Afghan civilians, military and ISAF assistance forces.
