BAGRAM AIRFIELD, Afghanistan – Afghan National Police and Coalition forces detained three well-known improvised explosive device (IED) facilitators while conducting a combat operation to interdict a Taliban IED cell located 20 kilometers (12.4 miles) northwest of the city of Khowst, in Saberi district, Khowst province April 30.
The Combined ANP and Coalition force air-assaulted into the village of Zambar and quickly detained Haji Nazir, Nazir Khan and another individual, known only as Latif, at three separate compounds. The detained individuals are believed to be mid-level Taliban leaders who were involved in Taliban fighter recruiting, financing, and the masterminds behind the IED cell in the Sabari district.
No shots were fired during the successful mission and there were no injuries to any Afghan civilians reported.
“The information gained from these three individuals will assist us in detaining other key Taliban leaders,” said Maj. Christopher Belcher, a Combined Joint Task Force-82 spokesperson. “We will continue to pursue and interdict Taliban leaders who threaten the people of Afghanistan.”
“Taliban leaders have two choices,” Belcher said. “Stop fighting and reconcile with the Islamic Republic of Afghanistan, or face elimination by Afghan National Security and Coalition forces.”
The @ss kicking continues all around.
