KABUL, Afghanistan - Acting on multiple intelligence reports and tips from concerned citizens, Afghan and coalition security forces detained a wanted insurgent during a combined operation in the village of Mullah Hadzrat in Logar province, Sept. 27.

The captured insurgent commander was an expert in the manufacturing and use of improvised explosive devices. He was directly responsible for the planning and execution of numerous IED attacks against Afghan National Security Forces and International Security Assistance Forces.
He was also an expert in the use of remote-control technologies to initiate IEDs.

Upon securing the compound, the force called-out the inhabitants multiple times in order to allow them to peacefully exit the building.

There was no response.

The combined force then entered the compound and without incident detained the insurgent commander and several suspected insurgents.

The detainees were taken for processing and further questioning.
