NEWS RELEASE ISAF Joint Command - Afghanistan   2010-03-CA-101  For Immediate Release

KABUL, Afghanistan (March 24) - In Nangarhar last night, an Afghan-international security force searched a compound in a rural area south of Ahmadkhel, in the Khogyani district, after intelligence information indicated militant activity.
 During the search the assault force captured a Taliban sub-commander involved in kidnappings, weapons purchase and reconnaissance of coalition forces. The security force also detained another insurgent at the compound.
 During the search two militants approached the security force. One of them rushed the joint force and, after ignoring demands to surrender, pointed a weapon at the security force. The security force then engaged and killed the armed militant. The other insurgent surrendered.
