KABUL, Afghanistan – The International Security Assistance Force confirmed the capture of a Taliban facilitator during an Afghan and coalition security operation in Paktika province Nov. 27.
The targeted individual was most active as a weapons facilitator including acquiring explosive bullets, rockets and mortars for Taliban fighters.
Intelligence reports led the security force to a compound in Sharan district to search for the facilitator. Afghan forces called for all occupants to exit the compound peacefully before the joint security force cleared and secured the area. After initial questioning of the residents at the targeted compound, the security force detained the facilitator along with one of his associates.
The assault force did not fire their weapons and they ensured the safety of the women and children for the duration of the search.
