KABUL, Afghanistan (June 14, 2011) 
In Logar province, a combined Afghan and coalition security force captured a Hezb-E Islami Gulbuddin leader during a security operation in Baraki Barak district, yesterday. The leader was responsible for conducting attacks targeting Afghan government officials and supported an extensive weapons facilitation network supporting attacks across Logar, Wardak and northward into Kabul. 

The Afghan-led security force received several intelligence reports throughout the week that led them to his location. Following these tips, the force was able to track him to a compound in the district. After isolating the compound, the force commenced their search and identified and detained the leader.
