ISAF Joint Command - Afghanistan 2010-11-CA-136   KABUL, Afghanistan (Nov. 11) –  In Kandahar province, Afghan and coalition security forces detained two suspected Taliban insurgents Thursday while searching for a Taliban IED facilitator for Spin Boldak district.  The facilitator is associated with transporting IEDs and components from Pakistan through Kandahar’s Spin Boldak district bordering Pakistan for distribution throughout the province. He is also known to support the Kandahar City attack networks.  Intelligence reports led the security members to a series of compounds in Spin Boldak to search for the facilitator. Joint security forces cleared and secured the area before Afghan forces called the occupants to peacefully exit each compound using a loudspeaker. The security force detained the suspected insurgents after initial questioning at the scene.  Security forces confiscated numerous IED components, including detonation switches, during a search of the targeted compounds.  The assault force did not fire their weapons. They protected the women and children for the duration of the search.
