KABUL, Afghanistan (Nov. 6, 2010) — Afghan and coalition forces detained more than 10 suspected insurgents during four operations aimed at capturing Taliban and Haqqani leadership in southern and eastern Afghanistan Friday.

An Afghan and coalition security force targeting a Taliban senior leader who plans, coordinates and conducts attacks in Musa Qal’ah district, detained several suspected insurgents during an overnight operation in Helmand province.

Intelligence tips led the security force to a remote compound in Musa Qal’ah district to search for the targeted individual. Afghan forces used a loudspeaker to call for all occupants to exit the compounds peacefully and then the joint security force cleared and secured the area. 

After initial questioning at the scene, the security force detained the suspected insurgents. The security force also found multiple pounds of morphine base.", "StartDate": "2010-11-05", "eventtype": "detention", "province": "Helmand", "citydistrict": "Musa Qala", "village": "", "targetgroup": "Taliban", "commander": "", "position": "senior leader", "minkilled": "0", "mincaptured": "3", "capturedcharacterisation": "several", "killedcharacterisation": "", "killq": "false", "captureq": "true", "killcaptureraid": "true", "airstrike": "false", "noshotsfired": "true", "dataprocessed": "true", "flagged": "false", "glossarymeta": "false", "minleaderskilled": "0", "minfacilitatorskilled": "0", "minleaderscaptured": "0", "minfacilitatorscaptured": "0","leaderq":"false"}
