The security force returned fire, killing several of the insurgents. After the initial engagement, the security force discovered an IED on a foot path leading to the targeted compound and subsequently identified multiple IEDs rigged throughout the buildings in the compound. As the force continued their search they found a home-made explosives factory and a complex bunker system containing rocket propelled grenades emptied of their explosives. Women and children were protected by the combined security force.
