KABUL - ISAF confirmed the capture of a Taliban improvised explosive device and weapons facilitator during an Afghan-led security force operation Wednesday.
The security force had targeted a series of compounds east of Qaryeh-ya Tawakal in Pul-e 'Alam district to search for the facilitator. Afghan forces used a loudspeaker to call for all residents to exit the buildings peacefully and then secured the area. After questioning the residents at the scene, the assault force detained the facilitator along with one additional suspected insurgent.
"IEDs continue to be one of the worst threats for the Afghan people," said Col. Rafael Torres, ISAF Joint Command Combined Joint Operations Center director. "We will continue to target insurgents participating in these activities."
Afghan and coalition forces did not fire their weapons and they protected the women and children throughout the search.
