ISAF Joint Command - Afghanistan

For Immediate Release\n\nKABUL, Afghanistan (April 12) - An Afghan-international security force captured a Haqqani improvised explosive device (IED) facilitator and several other militants in Paktiya this morning.
The combined force went to an open area west of Rabat, in the Zurmat district, after intelligence information indicated militant activity. As the joint force approached, several militants tried to run. One of the militants turned and charged the security force, and was engaged and wounded. The rest of the militants were quickly cornered by the security force and surrendered.
Among those captured was a Haqqani IED facilitator responsible for attacking coalition convoys and killing Afghan troops. A search of the militant's tents uncovered multiple automatic rifles, grenades and ammunition.
The Haqqani uses indiscriminant bombings and small-arms attacks, kidnappings, and intimidation to achieve their aims. Afghan and coalition forces work to protect innocent civilians from this threat. ",
