  KABUL, Afghanistan (April 10) - An Afghan-international security force captured a Taliban improvised explosive device (IED) facilitator and several other militants in Kandahar last night.
   The security force searched a compound west of Kandahar City, near Deh-e Kowehay, after intelligence information indicated militant activity. During the search the joint force captured a Taliban IED expert responsible for leading IED emplacement teams and fixing detonators.
   The capture of this expert should degrade the Taliban's IED capabilities in and around Kandahar. The detainee may also have knowledge of local militant networks. Several other militants were also captured.
