For Immediate Release 

KABUL, Afghanistan (Feb. 8, 2011)
A joint Afghan National Security and ISAF patrol targeted a Taliban leader in Kajaki district, Helmand province yesterday. Two insurgents were killed during the operation.

The target is a Taliban leader in northern Helmand who plans and carries out small-arms and rocket-propelled grenade attacks against Afghan security forces and ISAF.

Acting on multiple intelligence reports and tips from local citizens, the force moved towards a compound associated with the target. They initiated an Afghan-led call-out to give the occupants of the compound a chance to exit safely. A man, several women and children exited the building while under protection of the patrol. During the call-out, the force noticed an insurgent inside the building aiming a rifle at them. The insurgent posed an immediate threat to the patrol and the women and children, and was killed with aimed shots.

The male who exited the building was sent into another building to bring out anybody that might be inside. When he emerged from the building, he attempted to engage the patrol with a rifle. He was shot and killed by the patrol.

During a search of the area, the patrol discovered two AK-47 rifles and associated ammunition.",
