KABUL, Afghanistan - An Afghan and coalition security force detained two suspected insurgents in Baghlan province last night while in pursuit of a Taliban military commander in charge of a large number of insurgent fighters.
The security force targeted a series of compounds in Qazaq village, Baghlan-e Jadid District and secured the area. Afghan forces called the occupants to peacefully exit the buildings and then cleared the buildings. The combined force detained the suspected insurgents after questioning all the residents at the scene.
"Focused efforts by Afghan and coalition forces in northern Afghanistan have left the insurgent networks scrambling to replace their leadership," said Col. Rafael Torres, ISAF Joint Command Combined Joint Operations Center director. "These operations will continue until the insurgent groups are eradicated from the area."
Afghan and coalition forces did not fire their weapons and they protected the women and children throughout the search.
