KABUL, Afghanistan – Coalition forces killed one insurgent and wounded three others during an air strike in Logar province yesterday targeting an active Taliban leader operating in Baraki Barak Dstrict.
The leader is a weapons and improvised explosive device expert responsible for indiscriminate IED and small arms fire attacks on coalition forces in the district.
Based on intelligence sources, coalition forces tracked a group of insurgents to a remote area in Baraki Barak District. After careful planning to avoid civilian causalities, coalition forces conducted the air strike killing one insurgent.
A follow-on ground force discovered three additional wounded insurgents at the scene. The security force provided immediate medical attention before detaining them along with one other insurgent.
The security force is still gathering information to confirm the targeted individual was among the insurgent group. No civilians were injured in the strike.
