    KABUL - An Afghan and coalition security force detained several insurgents in Khost province Friday while in pursuit of a Haqqani Network facilitator of improvised explosive device material and weapons used in indirect fire attacks.

    The security force targeted a series of compounds north of the village of Mut Kheyl 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 cleared the buildings. After questioning all the residents, the security force detained eight insurgents. The security force also discovered multiple automatic weapons and rocket-propelled grenades.

    The assault force did not fire their weapons and they protected the women and children throughout the search.
