ISAF Joint Command - Afghanistan 2010-07-CA-118 For Immediate Release    KABUL, Afghanistan (July 20) - An Afghan-international force killed several insurgents and detained two suspected insurgents near Kabul last night while pursuing a Taliban facilitator believed to be in final stages of preparation for attacks against the Kabul Conference.   As the combined security force went to the targeted compound near Suryawun in Musahi district they were immediately engaged by several individuals armed with automatic weapons, and barricaded inside of buildings. The combined force returned fire killing several insurgents.   After the fighting ceased, Afghan forces used a loudspeaker to call for all occupants to peacefully exit the buildings. After the compound was cleared and secured, the combined security force detained the two suspected insurgents.   Several automatic weapons and ammunition were found at the scene.   Women and children present were protected by the combined security force. Earlier this week Afghan and international forces captured a Taliban sub-commander and two additional facilitators this week.   Through these operations, combined forces were able to locate and destroy a large cache of dozens of mortars, rocket boosters, rocket propelled grenades and two remote-controlled improvised explosive devices located within the city of Kabul.
