    KABUL - The International Security Assistance Force confirmed the capture of a Taliban facilitator for weapons, money, equipment and improvised explosive device materials, during an Afghan and coalition security force operation Friday.

    During the operation, Afghan and coalition forces went to a remote compound in Lashkar Gah district to search for the facilitator.

    Afghan forces used a loudspeaker to call for all occupants to exit the compound peacefully and then secured the area. After questioning all of the residents at the scene, the security force detained the facilitator along with two additional suspected insurgents.

    The security force did not fire their weapons and they protected the women and children throughout the search.
