\nKABUL, Afghanistan (August 8) - An Afghan and coalition security force detained several suspected Haqqani Network insurgents in Paktiya province Saturday, while in pursuit of a Haqqani Network facilitator who also acts as a senior-level interrogator of the network's prisoners. 

The security force targeted a seires of compounds northwest of Darabal Kala in the Gardez district to search for the facilitator. Afghan forces called for all residents to exit the compound peacefully and then secured the area. The assault force then detained several suspected insurgents at the compound. Multiple automatic weapons and assorted military gear including a GPS system with pre-loaded improvised explosive device positions were found at the scene. 

The security force then moved to a gas station in the area after intelligence indicated the targeted individual might be located there. Afghan forces called for all occupants to exit the buildings peacefully and them secured the area. They detained one more suspected insurgent from that location. They also found an AK-47 at the scene. 

\"We will continue targeting Hanqqani Network leadership as long as thecy continue attacks against the Afghan people,\" said Col. Rafael Torres, ISAF Joint Command Combined Joint Operations Center director. \"Since July 1, Afghan and coalition forces have detained a large number of Haqqani Network leaders and nearly 100 suspected Haqqani insurgents.\" 

The security force did not fire their weapons and they protected the women and children throughout the searches.", "StartDate": "2010-07-03", "eventtype": "detention", "province": "Paktya", "citydistrict": "Gardez", "village": "Darabal Kala", "targetgroup": "Haqqani", "commander": "", "position": "facilitator", "minkilled": "0", "mincaptured": "4", "capturedcharacterisation": "one more;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"}
