June 18: Afghan-ISAF Operations in Southern, Eastern Afghanistan
ISAF Joint Command - Afghanistan  2010-06-CA-065  For Immediate Release  A separate Afghan-international security force detained two suspected insurgents in Kandahar Province last night while pursuing a Taliban sub-commander responsible for coordinating IED attacks and ambushes against coalition forces in Arghandab district.   The combined security force searched a number of compounds west of Senjaray, Zhari district, after intelligence sources confirmed insurgent activity. No shots were fired during the search.   Eliminating insurgent IED operations is a key focus for Afghan and coalition forces. The highly indiscriminate nature of IED and suicide IED attacks makes them a threat not only to Afghanistan's security forces and their coalition partners, but also to civilians. Afghan and international forces are aggressively pursuing insurgents to further degrade the Taliban's network and resources.
