    KABUL – Afghan and coalition forces captured a Taliban improvised explosive device facilitator reportedly linked to the movement of a large ammonium nitrate shipment, which was interdicted by the Afghan National Army Aug. 9, in Kandahar Sunday.

    Afghan and coalition forces targeted a series of compounds in Sahebdad Ghundey in Kandahar district to search for the facilitator. Afghan forces used a loudspeaker to call for all occupants to exit the compounds peacefully and then secured the area.

    After questioning all the residents at the scene, the security force identified and detained the facilitator.

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