A combined Afghan and coalition security force captured a Taliban facilitator and two suspected insurgents during a nighttime security operation in Qarghah’i district, Laghman province, yesterday. The facilitator was involved in the movement of supplies for insurgents. He also conducted surveillance and assisted with the movement of fighters within Laghman province and across eastern Afghanistan.

Based on several tips, the Afghan-led force targeted a compound in the district. After arriving at the compound, the force searched the area and identified the facilitator. He and two of his associates were taken into custody and transported with the security force for further questioning.
