KABUL, Afghanistan (Feb. 3, 2011) – Coalition forces conducted a precision air strike to destroy a house-borne improvised explosive device during an Afghan and coalition force security operation in Sabari district, Khost province yesterday. 

The security force was searching for a Haqqani Network leader who operates out of Sabari district where he conducts IED and house-borne IED attacks against Afghan and coalition forces in the area. 

While securing the area, the security force spoke with the village elder who confirmed the suspected building containing the device has not been occupied for the past five years. Intelligence indicated the targeted Haqqani Network leader established a house-borne improvised explosive device ambush for Afghan and coalition forces. The security forces and village elder assisted nearby residents in moving away from the building and then called for a precision airstrike to eliminate the threat and protect the populace after determining no other options or means were available to effectively counter the threat. The explosive device was completely destroyed as a result of the airstrike.",
