KABUL, Afghanistan - An Afghan-international security force searched a rural compound and detained two suspected insurgents outside of Marja, in the Nad-e Ali District of Helmand province after intelligence information indicated militant activity.
In a separate operation, members of the Afghan national army's 201 Corps, while on patrol with international forces in the town of Nawrooz Abad, Kabul province, found a significant weapons cache Tuesday.
The combined force found six machine guns, 30 IEDs, including two anti-vehicle and 28 anti-personnel devices, along with more than 1,000 explosive fuses.
No Afghan civilians were harmed during these operations.
