BAGRAM AIR FIELD, Afghanistan (September 5, 2008) – Coalition forces killed several militants, and detained two, during operations targeting an IED network in Kapisa province, Friday.
The force searched a compound in the Tag Ab District targeting a Taliban commander responsible for smuggling foreign fighters into Afghanistan, as well as conducting IED attacks against Coalition and ISAF forces.
During the operation, militants engaged the force. Coalition forces responded with small-arms fire, eliminating the enemy threat.
Coalition forces discovered multiple AK-47s, hand grenades, IED-making materials and stock piles of ammunition, to include armor- piercing rounds. These items were destroyed to prevent future use.
