Insurgent Operations Suffer Further Blow in Uruzgan
Regional Command South Media Release   URUZGAN, Afghanistan (April 13, 20110) - Afghan National Police and their Australian Special Operations Task Group (SOTG) partners have built on recent success by capturing a suspected senior insurgent leader in Uruzgan province, Friday.  Members of the Provincial Response Company - Uruzgan and SOTG conducted a compound clearance operation in the Khod Valley and captured a suspected insurgent leader who was in charge of insurgent operations in the Char Chineh district and supplied weapons and fighters throughout Shadid-i Hassas.  His removal will severely disrupt insurgent operations, particularly in Western Uruzgan, and reduce attacks on Coalition and local forces.  The man has been transferred to the Detention Facility in Parwan to face prosecution. His name cannot be released until he is found guilty under Afghan law.   Eleven key leaders have been removed from Uruzgan Province since spring operations began in March.
