Kabul: US Coalition forces claims that they killed a Taliban expert bomb maker and wounded another insurgent with a precision airstrike in Baghlan-e Jadid district, Baghlan province, today.
The airstrike took place as the two insurgents emplaced two roadside bombs. One was a pressure plate device and the other was remote controlled.
Afghan and coalition security forces removed and destroyed both explosives and detained the wounded insurgent. The expert bomb maker constructed explosive devices for attacks against Afghan and coalition troops and trained other insurgents in constructing roadside bombs.
In other raids International security forces with the collaboration of Afghan forces captured two Taliban facilitators during separate operation in Nahr-e Saraj district, Helmand province and in Bati Kot district, Nangarhar province today.
ISAF claimed that the arrested facilitator provided weapons and bomb-making materials to insurgents throughout the district and western Kandahar province. He was also participating in illegal narcotics trafficking to fund insurgent attacks against Afghan and coalition security forces. The security force detained one additional suspected insurgent as a result of this operation.
During these operations, the security forces also detained several suspected insurgents and confiscated a shotgun.
