KABUL, Afghanistan (June 5, 2011) 
A combined Afghan and coalition security force detained several insurgents during a clearing operation in Baraki Barak district, Logar province, yesterday. The Afghan-led security force conducted the operation to disrupt Taliban activity along a key facilitation route for insurgent organizations carrying out attacks in Kabul. There was a security operation in the area recently, but the force returned to the area upon receiving information of further insurgent activity. 

The security force cleared several buildings in search of Taliban activity in the area. While conducting the search, Afghan members of the force interviewed residents who helped them identify several individuals with suspected ties to the Taliban. All men were taken into custody for further questioning and possible detention. No shots were fired during the night operation and no civilians were harmed.
