KABUL, Afghanistan (Feb. 27, 2011) – Afghan National Security and International Security Assistance Forces killed Mullah Faizulla, a Taliban weapons facilitator along with one additional male, who threatened the security force, during a security operation in Tarnek wa Jaldak, Zabul province yesterday.
Mullah Faizulla operated out of Tarnek wa Jaldak district and travelled back and forth from Kandahar province. He was responsible for distributing weapons and funding Taliban insurgent activities along Highway 1 to include attacks against Afghan and coalition forces.
Multiple intelligence sources led the security force to the targeted compound in the district. As the joint security force arrived at the targeted compound they observed one insurgent fleeing from the targeted compound with an object slung on his shoulder. The insurgent turned toward the security forces and threatened them resulting in the security force engaging the insurgent and killing him. The security force moved to the location of the insurgent and identified the individual as Mullah Faizulla, the targeted insurgent.
While the security force was securing the site around Mullah Faizulla a man was observed moving into a ditch. He was then observed coming out of the ditch toward the security force and onto the road where he threatened the security force. The security force engaged the man, at which time he was killed.
After securing the targeted compound, Afghan forces called for all occupants to exit the building peacefully before conducting a search. The search ended without detaining any suspected insurgents. The security force conducted a key leader engagement with the Afghan National Police commander to explain the purpose of the mission. | {"name":"Taliban weapons facilitator and another killed in Zabul","text":"ISAF Joint Command Morning Operational Update, Feb. 27, 2011\nISAF Joint Command - Afghanistan
