COMBINED FORCES COMMAND – AFGHANISTAN
KABUL, AFGHANISTAN
Release # 061218-002
KABUL, Afghanistan — Afghan forces, with the assistance of Coalition forces, captured 10 suspected terrorists during a combined operation early today near the village of Qazian in Kunar Province.
The operation resulted in the capture of a known transporter of weapons and explosives who is linked to foreign fighter movements in the region. He is also responsible for facilitating suicide and improvised explosive device attacks against the Afghan population, Afghan National Security Forces, and Coalition forces.
Credible information led the combined force to believe the transporter and his associates were at the compound. Several of the suspects attempted to flee upon seeing the combined force but were apprehended without incident.
The combined force ensured the safety of a number of women and children present at the compound, none of whom were harmed during the operation.
No Afghan or Coalition forces were injured during the operation.
