KABUL, Afghanistan — An Afghan and International security force killed several militants, Oct. 26, in Paktya province during an operation to pursue a suspected Haqqani bomb maker and his associates.
The Haqqani element is believed responsible for several improvised explosive device attacks in the Khowst-Gardez Pass in southeast Afghanistan.
Acting on intelligence that Haqqani militants were in transit outside of the village of Haqdad Kheyl, Wuza Zadran District, security forces coordinated an air strike on the enemy location.
A joint security force ground element searched the location, confirmed that militants were killed by the air strike and identified the sought-after Haqqani bomb maker among those killed.
During the search the force also recovered IED components, small arms weapons and communications gear.
No Afghan civilians were harmed during this operation.
