BAGRAM AIR FIELD, Afghanistan (September 6, 2008) – Coalition forces detained four suspected militants while targeting Haqqani terrorist networks during multiple operations in Khowst province, Friday.
The first operation targeted a suspected Haqqani subcommander wanted for facilitating the movement of foreign fighters into the region and directing attacks against innocent civilians, ISAF and Coalition forces. It is also believed he aids financial operations for the Haqqani network locally.
The second operation successfully targeted a suspected militant wanted in connection with suicide attacks and vehicle-borne improvised explosive attacks in the Khowst regions. Intelligence reports indicate the militant is a longtime Haqqani network member who has ties to recent attacks that killed and injured innocent civilians.
Two other militants were detained during the second operation.
