text: Apr. 5: Afghan-ISAF Operations in Helmand, Khost, Uruzgan
  NEWS RELEASE ISAF Joint Command - Afghanistan 2010-04-CA-015  For Immediate Release
   In Khost Province last night, a joint security force searched a compound west of Mehdi Kheyl, in the Khost district, after intelligence information indicated militant activity. During the search the joint force captured a Haqqani facilitator responsible for attacks against coalition forces and Afghan border police. He also has several ties to area IED networks.
   When confronted the Haqqani facilitator immediately surrendered and identified himself. His capture may degrade the local area Haqqani IED networks and provide intelligence on other militant cells in eastern Afghanistan.
