BAGRAM AIR FIELD, Afghanistan (June 5, 2008) – Several militants were killed and five were detained Wednesday during a Coalition forces operation to disrupt anti-government operations in Helmand province. Coalition forces searched several compounds in Kajaki District targeting a Taliban leader associated with the murder of several Afghan government officials. Coalition forces identified a militant armed with a rocket-propelled grenade, waiting in ambush and several militants consolidating for an attack. Coalition forces responded with air strikes, killing the militants. Continuing their search, Coalition forces discovered multiple AK-47s, ammunition vests, ammunition, grenades and a large cache of narcotics. The weapons and drugs were destroyed to prevent future use.
