NEWS RELEASE ISAF Joint Command - Afghanistan  2010-04-CA-068  For Immediate Release
KABUL, Afghanistan (April 24) - In Kunduz last night, an Afghan-international security force went to a compound near Aka Khel, in the Archi district, after intelligence information indicated insurgent activity. The security force moved into the compound and made a call out. The individuals, who had barricaded themselves in the buildings, did not come out and engaged the combined force with small-arms fire. The joint security force returned fire killing several insurgents and detaining a few others.
 Two of those killed were Taliban commanders, one of them being the targeted militant responsible for distributing insurgent funds, designating targets and planning bombings.
 Though there were women and children in the compound buildings, none were injured during the operation. The homeowner told the joint patrol the Taliban had forced their way into the compound for the night. International forces will reimburse the homeowner for minor damages caused to his property.
 During a search of the buildings the security force found multiple automatic rifles, a machine gun, a rocket-propelled grenade, hand grenades and other weapons.
