RELEASE # 063
BAGRAM AIRFIELD, Afghanistan – Coalition and Afghan forces arrested four suspected terrorists after they refused requests for peaceful surrender during an operation at a compound near Orgun-E in Paktika province early Wednesday.
Personnel from the combined Afghan-Coalition force secured the compound and treated one man who later died of gunshot wounds received after displaying a hostile intent toward the combined force.
Acting on credible information about suspected terrorist facilitators in the area, Afghan and Coalition troops approached village elders for assistance in conducting the operation. Most occupants of the compound complied with the instructions to surrender peacefully and were not harmed.
There were no injuries to Afghan or Coalition forces during the operation.
