name: Two killed and one detained in Kunduz
text: [N.B. this is similar to another incident that took place in Paktika on the same day... why were they suddenly calling in two airstrikes on buildings as force protection in one night?]

  KABUL, Afghanistan (June 14, 2011)
  A combined Afghan and coalition security force killed two insurgents and detained one suspected insurgent while searching for a Taliban leader in Archi district, Kunduz province, yesterday. The leader is a roadside bomb and suicide bomb facilitator in the district. There is no word on whether he is among those killed during the operation. 
  
  The Afghan-led security force was attempting to search a compound associated with the leader when insurgents opened fire on their position. The security force responded, attempting to suppress enemy fire. Once firing ceased, an Afghan member of the force called for the insurgents to surrender peacefully, however the armed insurgents ignored the request and continued their assault against the force. 
  
  The security force continued attempting to de-escalate the situation by calling, in multiple local dialects, for the insurgents to give themselves up peacefully. After receiving continuous fire from the insurgents and assessing no women and children were present in the compound, the security force called for a precision airstrike as a force protection measure. 
  
  The airstrike killed two armed insurgents and the force later founds several grenades, AK-47 rifles, an AK-47 grenade launcher, chest racks and several magazines of ammunition. Additionally, the security force detained one suspected insurgent after the airstrike. Initial reports indicate no civilians were harmed as a result of the airstrike.
