For Immediate Release

KABUL, Afghanistan (May 3, 2011) – A combined Afghan and coalition security force killed several Taliban insurgents and detained numerous suspected insurgents during a clearing operation in Dahanah-ye Ghori district, Baghlan province, yesterday.

The operation was conducted to clear a suspected Taliban safe haven in Ghor Chesma village, which is associated with facilitation activities and cache sites. This area is historically associated with the Taliban district chief in Doshi district.

The security force targeted the area after intelligence sources and tips from citizens indicated insurgent activity in the area.

During the initial stages of the operation, the force identified and detained two Taliban fighters. At a nearby location, the force was engaged by multiple armed insurgents. One insurgent was killed as the force returned fire. The force then observed more insurgents attempting offensive maneuvers. A fire fight ensued as the armed insurgents attacked the force, resulting in several insurgents being killed.

Continuing the mission, the force cleared several more compounds in the area. Based on interviews with residents, the force identified and detained numerous suspected insurgents for further questioning. Initial reports indicate no civilians were hurt in the operation.",
