KABUL, Afghanistan (Feb. 6) - On Jan. 30, a combined team of Afghanistan National Security Force and International Security and Assistance Force partners captured an IED facilitator near Malmand Chinnah, Sangin, Helmand Province.
ANSF and ISAF forces located the vehicle in which the Taliban IED facilitator was travelling as he made his way North through Helmand. When ANSF signalled for the vehicle to stop and told the occupants to get out, the two men in the vehicle did so and surrendered without incident. As they approached, ANSF also found a woman in the vehicle. The woman was led to safety by ANSF and protected throughout the operation.
When the two men identified themselves to the ANSF, one of them was confirmed to be a Taliban IED facilitator. Both men were detained for further questioning. The woman was not detained.
