ISAF Joint Command - Afghanistan 2010-10-CA-204  For Immediate Release Download PDF   KABUL, Afghanistan (Oct. 20) -- An Afghan and coalition security force targeted a Taliban senior leader and key financier operating in Marjah district, detaining several suspected insurgents during an overnight operation in Helmand province.   The targeted individual plans and conducts ambush attacks against Afghan and coalition forces, as well as handles financing for insurgents operating in the district. Intelligence information led the security force to a remote compound in Washer district to search for the targeted individual. Afghan forces used a loudspeaker to call for all occupants to exit the buildings peacefully, and then the joint security force began clearing the compound. During the clearance, the security force killed one individual when he threatened the force.  The security force also discovered 850 kilograms of urea nitrate and copper wire, which can be used to create improvised explosive devices, and 50 pounds of wet opium. After initial questioning at the scene, the security force detained the suspected insurgents.   The assault force protected the women and children for the duration of the search.
