NEWS RELEASE ISAF Joint Command - Afghanistan  2010-04-CA-046  For Immediate Release

Also in Kandahar last night, an Afghan-international security force went to a compound in the village of Hajji Mohammad, in the Panjwayi district, after intelligence information indicated militant activity. As the security force approached the compound they were met with small-arms fire. The joint force returned fire and killed one insurgent. Later another armed insurgent attempted to maneuver on the combined force and was killed.   During the search of the compound the security force captured a Taliban improvised explosive device (IED) cell leader, responsible for building and emplacing IEDs in the area. When confronted he surrendered and identified himself. Several other individuals were also detained.   A search of the buildings uncovered a rocket-propelled grenade and 2,000 rounds of small-arms ammunition.
