   ISAF Joint Command - Afghanistan 2010-05-CA-039  For Immediate Release
  
   In Khost last night, several insurgents were killed and one was wounded by an Afghan-international security force searching for a Haqqani network facilitator.
   Following a close air support mission, that killed some insurgents, a combined force went to a rural area in the Terezayi district. As the security force approached the area they were confronted by an armed individual. The security force attempted several times to get the insurgent to drop his weapon and comply with instructions. The militant refused, attempted to engage the assault force and was shot and killed.
   The targeted Haqqani leader is responsible for facilitating and storing IED making materials, emplacing IEDs for attacks against coalition forces, and giving and receiving reports on coalition force movements.
   An IED was found near one of the insurgents and, for safety reasons, was later detonated in place.
