    KABUL - An Afghan and coalition security force detained a suspected insurgent in Zabul province last night in their continued search for the Taliban deputy commander for Shah Joy District.

    The security force targeted a compound outside Mandah in Shah Joy District to search for the commander, who is responsible for numerous fighters operating in eastern Zabul and western Ghazni provinces.

    Afghan forces used a loudspeaker to call for all occupants to peacefully exit the building and then secured the area. After questioning all of the residents, the security force detained the suspected insurgent.

    Afghan and coalition forces did not fire their weapons, and they protected the women and children throughout the search.

    "Afghan and coalition forces will continue to hunt down the enemies of Afghanistan one by one," said Col. Rafael Torres, ISAF Joint Command Combined Joint Operations Center director.
