KABUL - An Afghan and coalition security force detained several suspected insurgents in Khost province Monday, including a Haqqani Network facilitator directly responsible for the movement of weapons and money from Pakistan into Sabari district.

The security force targeted a series of compounds north of Mamad Kala in Sabari district to search for the facilitator. Afghan forces used a loudspeaker to call for all occupants to exit the compounds peacefully, and then secured the area.

After questioning all of the residents at the scene, the security force identified and detained the facilitator along with two additional suspected insurgents. The security force discovered multiple weapons at the scene.

The security force did not fire their weapons and they protected the women and children for the duration of the search.
