    KABUL, Afghanistan - Afghan and coalition security forces detained one suspected insurgent and killed one in Logar province last night during offensive clearing operations.

    Afghan and coalition security forces targeted several areas suspected of insurgent activity in the Charkh and Baraki Barak Districts of Logar province. Near Qaryeh-ya Gol'alam in Baraki Barak one insurgent was killed after he attempted to attack the security force using a hand grenade. The combined force also detained one suspected insurgent in the same area after an automatic weapon and chest rack were found in his home.

    The women and children were protected throughout the search.

    "These offensive clearing operations remove insurgents from the area and help bring peace," said Col. Rafael Torres, ISAF Joint Command Combined Joint Operations Center director. "The ANSF with coalition forces are risking their lives every day combating the enemies of the Islamic Republic of Afghanistan so that peace and stability can be enjoyed here."
