For Immediate Release


KABUL, Afghanistan (Aug. 30, 2011) – A combined Afghan and coalition security force killed more than 10 insurgents and detained another nine during separate, overnight searches targeting a Haqqani network attack cell in eastern Afghanistan. 

The targets of the searches were several Haqqani facilitators responsible for planning an imminent attack on Kabul city under direction from Haqqani leaders based in Pakistan. Tips from local citizens indicated the insurgents’ locations and that they were organizing the attack to happen in the next few weeks.
 
In addition to the searches in Wardak and Ghazni, multiple individuals with suspected ties to the facilitators were detained in Sabari district, Khost province.
 
No civilians were harmed as a result of the searches, according to operational reporting.
