KABUL, Afghanistan (June 3, 2011) 
In Nangarhar province, a combined Afghan and coalition security force detained one suspected insurgent during a security operation targeting a Taliban facilitator in Surkh Rod district, yesterday. The facilitator moves weapons and explosive devices for attacks conducted in the district. He is also associated with the February Kabul Bank attack that killed several Afghan civilians and wounded many others. 

Based on numerous reports indicating explosive device facilitation in the area, the Afghan-led force searched a compound associated with the facilitator. While searching the area, Afghan members of the force interviewed residents, where they identified an individual with suspected ties to facilitating explosive device activity in the district. The night operation was completed with no shots fired and no civilians harmed.
