Apr. 6: Afghan-ISAF Operations in Helmand, Kandahar, Khost, Kunduz
NEWS RELEASE ISAF Joint Command - Afghanistan  2010-04-CA-017  For Immediate Release
 In Khost last night, an Afghan-international security force captured a few militants while pursuing a Haqqani sub-commander.
 A security force searched a compound east of Gurchak, in the Sabari district, after intelligence information indicated militant activity, and detained the militants. The search force also found several automatic rifles, grenades, fuses, ammunition and a large amount of explosives.
 No shots were fired and no one was harmed during the operation.
 Haqqani leaders conduct operations in conjunction with other militant groups with similar goals and interests. The network, like most militant organizations, has direct ties to drug trafficking. The Haqqani often use drug-smuggling profits to buy weapons and explosives.
