ISAF Joint Command - Afghanistan  2010-07-CA-015  For Immediate Release
 Another Afghan-international security force killed an insurgent in Kunduz Province last night while pursuing a Taliban commander.   The combined security force went to a compound east of Gerdan in Chahar Darah district, and was immediately engaged by an individual in an adjacent building. The security force returned fire, killing the insurgent.   Afghan forces then used a loudspeaker to call for all occupants to peacefully exit the compound and then secured the area.   The combined force also discovered a cache of rocket propelled grenades, automatic weapons, an IED ready for use, and expended RPGs and empty mortar rounds inside a nearby building in the vicinity of a local mosque. To prevent the IED from being used to harm civilians and coalition forces, the security force performed a controlled detonation to destroy the weapons cache, which also destroyed the building. The mosque was not damaged.
