KABUL, Dec 10 (Reuters) - Afghan army troops entered the town of Musa Qala on Monday, the fourth day of a large offensive to capture the only sizeable town controlled by Taliban insurgents, a spokesman for the NATO-led force said.

"The Afghan National Army has entered the district centre of Musa Qala," said International Security Assistance Force (ISAF) spokesman Major Charles Anthony.

He said the Afghan army was not yet in control of the town which has been surrounded by mainly British and U.S. troops in an operation to retake the town which began on Friday. (Reporting by Jon Hemming; Editing by Alex Richardson)
