    KABUL, Afghanistan – An Afghan-international security force killed one armed individual while pursuing a Taliban facilitator in Nangarhar last night.

    The combined force went to a compound near Nazrabad, in the Surkh Rod district, after intelligence information indicated militant activity. During the operation an individual with a weapon was observed adjacent to one of the buildings. The security force repeatedly attempted to get the individual to lower his weapon by using hand signals, and verbal commands through their Afghan interpreter. The individual ignored the repeated commands, raised his weapon and aimed at the combined force, and then was shot and killed.

    ISAF and ANSF will perform a joint assessment to review this operation.
