KABUL, Afghanistan – The International Security Assistance Force confirmed Mamur, a Taliban facilitator known to provide weapons and explosives to Taliban senior leadership in Kabul and Nangarhar provinces was killed during an overnight operation Wednesday.
Reportedly, he used his residences to house insurgents receiving improvised explosive device training at nearby bomb-making compounds.
The security force targeted a compound south of Mowrgah in Sherzad district to search for the facilitator. As the security force approached, they witnessed a group of armed insurgents depart the targeted compound. The security force attempted to interdict the group peacefully, but the insurgents attacked with small arms fire. The security force responded, killing at least two insurgents carrying automatic weapons and pistols.
The security force later confirmed Mamur was among those killed during the operation.
