KABUL, Afghanistan – Afghan and coalition forces detained more than 10 suspected insurgents as they targeted a former Haqqani shadow governor in Khost province Dec. 16.
The targeted individual is responsible for coordinating insurgent operations in the Bak district specifically against the Bak District Center.
Intelligence tips led the security force to several compounds in Bak District to search for the leader. Afghan forces used a loudspeaker to call for all occupants to exit the targeted compounds peacefully before the joint force cleared and secured the buildings. After the area was secure, the security force conducted initial questioning at the scene before detaining the suspected insurgents.
No women or children were injured or detained during this operation. The security force conducted the operations without firing their weapons.
