  KABUL, Afghanistan (June 8, 2011)   A combined Afghan and coalition security force captured a key facilitator for the Kunduz attack network and two of his associates during a nighttime security operation in Archi district, Kunduz province, yesterday.
  
  The facilitator moved suicide bombers and explosive materials for the network. This network consists of multiple Taliban and Islamic Movement of Uzbekistan insurgents who are directly involved in explosive device and suicide bomb attacks against Afghan government officials and Afghan National Security Forces.
  
  The network is responsible for the Feb. 10 attack against the Chahar Darah district governor, killing the governor and six others. The network is also responsible for the Feb. 21 attack against the Imam Sahib district governor s office which killed 30 Afghan civilians.
  
  The Afghan-led security force searched for the facilitator at his compound. There, Afghan members of the force called for all occupants to exit, allowing the force to ensure the safety of the women and children. During interviews with residents, the facilitator identified himself to the force and was apprehended. Two of his associates were also detained and transported with the security force for further questioning. No shots were fired during the operation.
