 Another Afghan-international security force captured a Haqqani-network IED facilitator and several other militants in Khost last night while acting on intelligence information that led the force to a compound north of Mehdi Kheyl, in the Tereyzai district. The IED facilitator is responsible for purchasing and building IEDs used against ISAF and Afghan forces.
 The assault force found IED materials, blasting caps and demolition cord at the site. A local madrassa, normally meant for religious instruction, was used as the weapons storage facility.
 No shots were fired and no one was harmed during the operation.
