KABUL, Afghanistan (June 20, 2011)
A combined Afghan and coalition security force detained two individuals with suspected ties to the Taliban during a security operation in Mehtar Lam district, Laghman province, yesterday. The force was searching for a Taliban facilitator who is involved in executions, ambushes and intimidation of Afghan civilians. 

The two individuals were detained after the Afghan-led security force discovered a cache of weapons. The cache contained roadside bomb making materials, including multiple mortar base plates, empty munitions casings, two five-gallon (19 liters) hydrogen peroxide containers and mortar casings. Several rifles, ammunition and chest racks with loaded magazines were also found at the site.
