BAGRAM AIRFIELD, Afghanistan – Several suspected militants were killed and one was detained during an operation in Ghazni Province today.

Afghan and Coalition forces were led by credible intelligence to Qara Bagh District where they suspected Taliban-affiliated militants were hiding.

“Forces continue to work against the violent extremists whose actions endanger the peaceful people in Afghanistan,” said Army Maj. Chris Belcher, a Combined Joint Task Force-82 spokesman.

There were no non-combatant injuries or casualties.

The detainee will be questioned as to his involvement in militant activities.
