Afghan, Coalition Forces Engage Militants in Nangarhar

BAGRAM AIRFIELD, Afghanistan – Afghan and Coalition forces captured nine militants and killed one other while engaging anti-Afghan government forces early Saturday in the Bati Kot area of Nangarhar Province.

Credible information led to the compound, where militants are suspected of facilitating several suicide attacks against Coalition forces and innocent Afghan people in recent weeks.

During the operation, a militant grabbed a weapon and was shot and killed by combined forces.

There were no injuries to any Afghan or Coalition forces.
