KABUL, Afghanistan - International Security Assistance Forces targeted numerous armed insurgents emplacing improvised explosive devices along a road utilized by Afghan National Security and ISAF, during an air strike in Chahar Darah District, Kunduz province, Thursday.
Intelligence sources discovered numerous armed insurgents digging holes in the road utilized by coalition forces, with large objects being emplaced in them. Analysts judged the objects to be IEDs. After ensuring no civilians were nearby, ISAF conducted an air strike and destroyed the IEDs.
Four insurgents were assessed to be killed and one insurgent wounded as a result of the air strike.
“We will continue to destroy IEDs and anyone who emplaces them,” said U.S. Army Col. Rafael Torres, International Security Assistance Force Joint Command Combined Joint Operations Center director. “They are not only a threat to ANSF and ISAF, but to anyone who uses the roads where they are emplaced, including local Afghans.”
