    KABUL - An Afghan and coalition security force detained two suspected insurgents in Khost province last night in their pursuit of a Haqqani Network facilitator of improvised explosive device material and weapons.

    Intelligence tips led the Afghan-led security force to a series of compounds west of Wardahano Kelay in Sabari District to search for the facilitator. Afghan forces used a loudspeaker to call for all occupants to exit the compounds peacefully and then Afghan forces cleared the area.

    After questioning all the occupants, the security force detained two suspected insurgents. The security force also discovered multiple grenades and weapons at the scene.

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