Coalition teams continue to hunt down Al Qaeda and Taliban fighters in Eastern Afghanistan, officials said Nov. 21.
Teams raided several compounds in the Jalalabad area that "had clear connections to al Qaeda," officials with Combined Forces Command Afghanistan said.
Four al Qaeda terrorists were killed and "several others" detained in the operation, U.S. military officials in Afghanistan said. Officials said Arab fighters were among those killed or captured. Local inhabitants provided the information needed to raid the compounds, officials said.
