BAGRAM AIR FIELD, Afghanistan – Afghan National Army Recon Company, 203rd Thunder Corps, assisted by Coalition forces, captured a suspected Taliban leader in Khowst province, April 14. The ANA elements, led by the Recon Company, conducted an air-assault cordon and search operation to establish security, disrupt insurgent activity and deny enemy sanctuary southeast of Shembaut village. While searching the village, they detained the insurgent leader. The individual is suspected of being a Taliban operative responsible for several attacks against Afghan National Security Forces. He is also suspected of providing housing and intelligence for suicide bombers planning operations in the area. Afghan and Coalition forces relied on information provided by Afghan citizens through the Small Rewards Program. The SRP offers Afghan citizens financial compensation for information that leads to the capture of enemy personnel or the recovery of weapons. |
