ISAF Joint Command Morning Operational Update, March 8, 2011
ISAF Joint Command - Afghanistan 2011-03-S-022 For Immediate Release   KABUL, Afghanistan (March 8, 2011)  Afghan and coalition forces captured a Taliban IED facilitator, targeted a facilitator, killed and detained several suspected insurgents during separate operations in Charkh district, Logar province, yesterday.  Both the captured and targeted facilitators are members of an IED cell that frequently attacks Afghan and coalition forces. Both were directly involved in placing the house-borne IED in the Charkh Bazaar on February 28th that resulted in the death of four Afghan soldiers, one coalition soldier, and one Afghan civilian.   Intelligence reports led security forces to the targeted compounds, where Afghan forces called for all occupants to exit the buildings peacefully before conducting searches. While the assault forces were securing the compounds, they were confronted by a number of insurgents failing to comply with instructions and threatened the Afghan and coalition soldiers. Security forces engaged the insurgents, killing and detaining several at both compounds.
