KABUL, Afghanistan - Afghan and coalition security forces detained several suspected insurgents and killed one in Logar province during offensive clearing operations over the last 24 hours.
Afghan and coalition security forces targeted several areas suspected of insurgent activity in the Charkh and Baraki Barak districts of Logar province. In Charkh district several suspected insurgents were detained after the assault force discovered and destroyed a cache of multiple grenades and automatic weapons. At another location in the district, the security force killed one man armed with an AK-47 after he attempted to engage the force.
A separate Afghan-led security force cleared and secured several compounds west of Aladad Kheyl in Baraki Barak and detained several suspected insurgents after questioning all the residents.
The women and children were protected throughout all of the searches.
"These offensive clearing operations remove insurgents from the area and help bring peace," said Col. Rafael Torres, ISAF Joint Command Combined Joint Operations Center director. "The ANSF with coalition forces are risking their lives every day combating the enemies of the Islamic Republic of Afghanistan so that peace and stability can be enjoyed here."
