KABUL, Afghanistan — Afghan and coalition forces detained three individuals during an operation early May 18 in Khost to further neutralize Haqqani network operations in eastern Afghanistan.
In Mando Zayi District, Khost province, approximately 15 kilometers southwest of Khost City, Afghan and coalition forces patrolled to a village to capture an individual tied to Haqqani network senior leaders. Forces searched several compounds without incident, capturing the targeted individual and two others suspected to have ties to this terrorist organization. Afghan and coalition forces discovered a weapons cache on one of the compounds that included five bolt-action rifles, an AK-47 assault rifle and one shotgun.
Entrances on two separate compounds were damaged when forces initiated the assault; however, none of the 14 adults and 17 children present were endangered at any time during this operation.
