 In Wardak Province last night, a joint security force searched to a compound in the village of Makhtum, in the Chak-e Wardak district, after intelligence information indicated militant activity. During the search a Taliban facilitator attempted to engage the combined force with a weapon and was subsequently killed. The facilitator had been responsible for weapons smuggling and leading a small band of fighters in attacks against coalition forces.
 Several other insurgents were captured during the search, and the joint force found multiple weapons and rocket-propelled grenade propellant on site.
