    KABUL, Afghanistan – A combined Afghan and coalition security force killed a Taliban insurgent and detained another during a security operation in Kunduz District, Kunduz province, yesterday.

    During a search of the area, the security force observed an armed insurgent operating in a field. After ensuring no women or children were in the area, an air weapons team engaged the individual, killing him.

    Following the engagement, the security force confiscated roadside bomb making materials, multiple AK-47 assault rifles, and a chest rack.

    The force then moved to search a nearby compound and discovered more bomb-making materials, including 15 pounds of home-made explosives, blasting caps, and detonation cord. The force safely removed the materials and detained a suspected insurgent before leaving the area.

    The force assessed that no civilians were harmed during the engagement.
