KABUL, Afghanistan (Sept. 5) - An Afghan and coalition security force captured a Haqqani sub-commander in Khost province Saturday. 

The commander leads a Haqqani cell conducting improvised explosive device and indirect fire attacks against Afghan civilians, government offices, and Afghan and coalition forces. 

Recent reporting led the security force to target a compound in the village of Serkay in Bak district, to search for the commander. Afghan forces used a loudspeaker to call for all occupants to exit the buildings peacefully and then secured the area. 

After questioning all the residents, the security force identified and detained the commander, along with two of his associates. The assault force discovered and destroyed several firearms, multiple grenades, and a cache of homemade explosives and ammunition at the scene. 

The assault force did not fire their weapons and they protected the women and children throughout the search.",
