Two NATO soldiers have died in an explosion in southern Afghanistan.

NATO's International Security Assistance Force released a statement Wednesday saying the soldiers were killed by an improvised explosive device.  Officials did not disclose the soldiers' nationalities.

Separately, NATO says coalition forces captured a Taliban sub-commander late Tuesday while searching a compound in Nangarhar province, east of Kabul.  An ISAF statement says the unidentified sub-commander was involved in kidnappings, weapons purchases and spying on coalition forces.   

ISAF also says allied forces captured several other suspected militants in Helmand province late Tuesday.

Some information for this report was provided by AFP and AP.
