BAGRAM AIRFIELD, Afghanistan -Coalition forces detained seven suspected insurgents during an operation Monday to degrade Taliban networks in Zabul Province.
Coalition forces performed a search of several compounds in the Qalat district, targeting insurgents with ties to Taliban and foreign fighter facilitators.
