Afghan and international forces killed a roadside bomber in Afghanistan’s Kandahar province today, military officials reported.
A combined force searched an area near the village of Lowy Karizac after intelligence information indicated militant activity there. The security force was threatened during the search and killed a militant known for distributing roadside bombs throughout the region.
In operations in the Nad-e Ali district of Helmand province in the past two days:
-- A combined patrol today found 14 fragmentation grenades, a rocket-propelled grenade round, three RPG tail fins, seven bags of ammonium nitrate and several hundred rounds of ammunition. Ammonium nitrate is a fertilizer banned by the Afghan government because it can be used to make explosives. The cache was destroyed.
-- In Marja last night, security combined force detained several suspected militants for further questioning.
-- A joint patrol found two anti-tank mines, 10 feet of detonation cord and various rounds of ammunition and seized the cache for destruction.
Also, an international patrol found six Russian-made 105 mm artillery rounds, an 82 mm mortar and some ammunition in Kabul yesterday.
No Afghan civilians were harmed during these operations, officials said.
