    KABUL, Afghanistan – Afghan and coalition security forces detained several suspected insurgents in Zabul province Monday during their continued pursuit of a Taliban improvised explosive device facilitator operating in Qalat district.

    The facilitator is reportedly involved in obtaining components for remote-controlled IED's.

    Intelligence sources identified a compound in the village of Lowy Khakeh in Shah Joy where the security force conducted their search for the IED facilitator. Afghan forces used a loudspeaker to call for all occupants to exit the buildings peacefully and then the joint security force cleared and secured the compound.

    After conducting initial questioning with the residents at the scene, the security force detained seven suspected insurgents.

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