Afghan and coalition forces detained 11 suspected militants today in the Gelan district of Ghazni province, military officials said. At the target site, troops detained the suspected militants and discovered small arms, ammunition vests and a machine gun.
Yesterday, combined forces nabbed nine militants in the Andar district of Ghanzi province, military officials said.
“Our multinational partnership is making significant strides in disrupting violent extremist influence in the region,” said Army Maj. Chris Belcher, a Combined Joint Task Force 82 spokesman. “Afghan and coalition forces continue to strike major blows against terrorist networks so ordinary citizens may one day live in peace.”
The detained militants are being held for further questioning. Military officials said that some damage occurred to buildings in these operations.

Loyer D. Braden, arrested about 3 a.m. in his dorm room, was charged with attempted murder, assault and reckless endangerment, as well as a gun charge, according to court documents.
A justice of the peace set bail for the East Orange, N.J., teenager at $75,000 and ordered him to stay away from the victims and Delaware State. Braden is a freshman at Delaware State, according to a man at Braden’s home in East Orange who identified himself only as a family member.
