KABUL, Afghanistan (June 8, 2011) 
A combined Afghan and coalition security force detained several suspected insurgents during a security operation targeting a Haqqani network leader in Sabari district, Khost province, yesterday. The targeted leader directs a large group of fighters conducting roadside bomb, car bomb and direct attacks against the Afghan National Army.

Multiple intelligence tips led the combined security force to a compound in search of the leader. The force searched the area and confiscated an AK-47 rifle, chest rack and multiple ammunition magazines. After interviewing residents, the force detained several individuals with suspected ties to Haqqani activity. No shots were shots fired and no civilians were harmed in the night operation.
