KABUL, Afghanistan – Coalition forces detained four suspected militants during an operation to disrupt the Hizb-e-Islami Gulbuddin (HIG) terrorist network in Kapisa province, Thursday.

The operation in Tagab District, located about 50 km northeast of Kabul, targeted a HIG commander known to facilitate the movement of weapons and foreign fighters into the region. Intelligence also suggests the commander is responsible for planning and coordinating attacks against innocent civilians, GIRoA and Coalition forces.

A force searched the compound without incident, and protected ten women and twenty children while detaining four suspected militants.
