KABUL, Afghanistan (Nov. 10, 2010) – An Afghan National Security and International security Assistance force patrol detained two targeted insurgents and found a weapons cache during an operation in Muhammad Aghah district, Logar province, Tuesday.
Multiple intelligence reports and tips from local citizens led the joint security force to the location of two insurgents and a weapons cache that was to be moved to Kabul. The two insurgents planned and conducted attacks against ANSF and ISAF.
After surrounding the target location, the patrol used loudspeakers to call-out the occupants to allow them to exit peacefully. Numerous men, women and children exited and were moved to a safe distance from the compound and were protected.
 The joint security force then searched the compound and found seven 82mm high-explosive mortar rounds and 100 rounds of .50 caliber ammunition.
After initial questioning by Afghan Security Forces, the targeted insurgents were detained.
The cache was secured and taken away and the detainees were taken by Afghan Security Forces for processing and further questioning.
