More than 5 detained in Nangarhar
Forces Target Taliban Leaders
ISAF Joint Command - Afghanistan 2010-12-S-242 For Immediate Release Download PDF    KABUL, Afghanistan (Dec. 21, 2010) — Afghan and coalition forces conducted four operations targeting Taliban leaders detaining numerous suspected insurgents in Helmand, Kandahar and Nangarhar provinces yesterday.  Afghan and coalition forces detained more than five suspected insurgents as they targeted a Taliban commander associated with attacks on the Sherzad district center during a security operation in Nangarhar province.  Intelligence reports indicate the Taliban leader steals Afghan National Security Force vehicles to convert them into assault vehicles or possible vehicle-borne improvised explosive devices.  The security force followed intelligence tips to a compound in Sherzad district to search for the leader. Afghan forces used a loudspeaker to call for all occupants to exit the compound peacefully before the joint security force cleared and secured the building. After the area was secure, the security force conducted initial questioning at the scene before detaining the suspected insurgents.  The joint security teams conducted these operations in the hours of darkness to minimize the risk to local citizens. No women or children were injured or detained during these operations.  The security forces conducted the operation without firing their weapons.
