Apr. 8: Afghan-ISAF Operations in Kandahar, Wardak
NEWS RELEASE ISAF Joint Command - Afghanistan   2010-04-CA-025  For Immediate Release

 In Wardak last night, an Afghan-international security force searched a compound west of Yusof Kheyl, in the Sayed Abad district, after intelligence information indicated militant activity. During the search the security force captured a Haqqani heavy weapons facilitator, responsible for the sale and distribution of weapons ranging from heavy machine guns to sniper rifles. The Haqqani have used indiscriminant bombings, small-arms attacks, murder, kidnappings, and intimidation to achieve their aims.
 Another militant was also captured during the search.
 The combined force also found several automatic rifles and Taliban propaganda. This capture is likely to hinder weapons procurement by militant networks in the area.
 No shots were fired and no one was injured during any of these operations.
