BAGRAM AIR FIELD, Afghanistan (Aug 1, 2008) — Afghan National Police, with support from Coalition forces, detained almost a dozen insurgents Thursday in Paktika province after finding evidence they were IED facilitators.

After separate IED attacks on Coalition and Afghan National Army vehicles, informants provided information that lead to seven individuals who were responsible for the IEDs. Traces of explosives were found in the detainees’ vehicle.

More information was received from local sources in the Ahmed Kheyl district, pinpointing the location of several insurgents responsible for setting up illegal checkpoints used for stealing goods from local travelers. Four more were detained as a result of this information.

No civilian, ANP or Coalition forces casualties were reported.
