KABUL, Afghanistan - The Afghan national civil order police chief in the town of Gereshk, Helmand province, Haji Kaduz, identified and apprehended several people believed to be associated with the improvised explosive device cell responsible for wounding three Special Forces soldiers March 31.
With minimal assistance from Special Operations Forces, Haji Kaduz conducted the operation without any exchange of gunfire.
Reports from Gereshk villagers state that ANCOP patrols and key leader engagements have enabled commerce to expand in local bazaars and given the people a growing sense the Government of the Islamic Republic of Afghanistan is capable of improved governance.
Haji Kaduz has served in a number of capacities: as an Afghan National Police chief, and Afghan security guard force member with Special Operations Forces and now as an ANCOP chief.
"Haji Kaduz's efforts are demonstrating that locally recruited, well mentored and locally employed ANP can establish security and win support of the population," said Col. Donald Bolduc, a Combined Joint Special Operations Task Force-Afghanistan spokesperson.
