KABUL, Afghanistan - Afghan and coalition security forces captured a Haqqani Network facilitator, along with several insurgents, during overnight operations in Khost province.
Intelligence sources led the first combined security force to a compound in the village of Gotkay in Bak District to search for a Haqqani facilitator involved in coordinating attacks against Afghan and coalition forces and kidnapping local nationals.
Afghan forces used a loudspeaker to call for all occupants to exit the compound peacefully and then secured the area. After initial questioning of the residents on scene, the security force identified the facilitator and two of his associates hiding in a field and detained them without incident.
A separate combined security force went to the village of Kabal Kala in neighboring Terayzai District to search for another Haqqani facilitator mainly involved in gathering IED materials and carrying out attacks against Afghan civilians and Afghan and coalition forces.
After the Afghan-led call-out, the security force cleared the compound and secured the area. The security force detained suspected insurgents after initial questioning of the residents at the scene.
The security force did not fire their weapons and they protected the women and children for the duration of the searches.
