KABUL, Afghanistan – The International Security Assistance Force confirmed Sainullah, a Haqqani Network facilitator who supplied weapons used for attacks throughout Musa Khel district, was killed during a joint security force operation in Khost province Monday.
Intelligence tips led the security force to a remote compound in Sabari district to search for the facilitator. As the joint security force approached, several armed insurgents threatened the assault force. The security force engaged the insurgents, killing three, including Sainullah.
The security force was able to assess part of the engagement area and recovered a machine gun with one of the insurgents along with improvised explosive device materials.
After the area was secure, 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 one suspected insurgent.
