KABUL, Afghanistan - Afghan National Security and International Security Assistance Force conducted two combined operations resulting in several suspected insurgents being detained, Saturday.
The first operation occurred in Helmand province. Upon arrival and the securing of the target compound, the force called out the suspected insurgents and encountered no resistance. The force protected numerous women and children, while detaining several individuals for further questioning.
The target of the operation is a Taliban commander who often receives and distributes a range of supplies, including weapons, improvised explosive device components and explosives. His geographical location between northern and central Helmand provides a link between the two insurgency network areas in regards to command and control and facilitation.
The second operation took place in Ghazni province. After arriving at the targeted compound, a combined Afghan and ISAF force secured the suspected Taliban commander's house and called out the suspected insurgent. One suspected insurgent was detained without incident.
The suspected Taliban commander is a significant Taliban leader in Ghazni districts. He is responsible for production and placing of IEDs targeting ANSF and ISAF forces. He also trains other insurgents in IED building and placement.
