Militants Detained
KABUL, Afghanistan – An Afghan and international security force
detained several suspected militants today after searching a compound
in Khowst province.
The compound is known to be used by a Haqqani facilitator and his
element believed responsible for funding and supplying weapons and
improvised explosive device materials to other militant elements in the
region.
The joint security force searched the compound in the Sabari District,
north of Khowst City, after intelligence reports indicated militant
activity. The force searched the compound without incident and detained
the suspected militants, one of whom was identified as the Haqqani
facilitator. No shots were fired, and no one was harmed.
The Haqqani Network has developed an extensive system of supply routes
in eastern Afghanistan used to arm, man and equip its militant elements
and training camps within the country. Afghan and international
security forces are working together to block these routes and ensure
the safety and well-being of the Afghan people.
