  KABUL, Afghanistan (Mar. 17)
  An Afghan and coalition security force captured a Haqqani leader during an operation in Pul-e  Alam district, Logar province, today. The leader targeted Afghan and coalition security forces with attacks throughout Logar province and conducted an ambush Jan. 25 against an Afghan fuel convoy that wounded an Afghan soldier.
  During the capture of the Haqqani leader, a fire started on the second floor of one of the buildings where the insurgents were hiding. Security forces put a ladder up to a second floor window so the insurgents could climb down. The security force also detained multiple additional suspected insurgents and destroyed a weapons cache and explosives as a result of this operation. The cause of the fire is under investigation by coalition forces.
