KABUL, Afghanistan (Nov. 10, 2010) — An Afghan and coalition security force captured a Taliban senior leader for Posht-e Rod and Gulistan districts, who was responsible for planning and directing improvised explosive device attacks against Afghan and coalition forces, during an operation in Farah province Tuesday.
 Reportedly, he was preparing for upcoming remote-controlled IED attacks and ambushes in the area.
 Intelligence tips helped the security force track the facilitator to an area outside Bala Boluk district. The joint force secured the area before peacefully detaining the facilitator for further questioning.
 The security force did not fire their weapons during this operation.
