IJC Operational Update, July 16
ISAF Joint Command - Afghanistan  2010-07-CA-097 For Immediate Release

 A separate Afghan-international security force detained a suspected insurgent in Kapisa last night while pursuing a Taliban commander responsible for IED and ambush attacks against coalition forces. The security force went to a series of compounds east of Doran in Tagab district to search the area. Afghan soldiers used a loudspeaker to call for all occupants of the first compound to peacefully exit the compound. One insurgent escaped the targeted compound and hid in a nearby compound. When the security force went to investigate, the suspected insurgent attempted to engage the security force with a pistol. The combined force engaged him in self-defense killing the man.
 "These operations are bearing fruit and will continue. Partnered Afghan and international forces will not relent until we eliminate the insurgent presence and stabilize the nation," said Col. Rafael Torres, ISAF Joint Command Combined Joint Operations Center director.
