BAGRAM AIRFIELD, Afghanistan - Coalition forces detained seven suspected insurgents during an operation Monday to degrade Taliban networks in Zabul Province.

        Coalition forces performed a search of several compounds in the Qalat district, targeting insurgents with ties to Taliban and foreign fighter facilitators.

During the course of the operation, Coalition forces found and detained seven individuals, including one who identified himself as a Taliban insurgent. The detained individuals will be questioned on their involvement in facilitation operations as well as other extremist activities.

Coalition forces also recovered two weapons from one of the compounds which were removed to prevent further use by extremist forces.

"Coalition forces remain focused on degrading extremist networks in order to help promote peace and stability in the Islamic Republic of Afghanistan," said Maj. Chris Belcher, Combined Joint Task Force 82 spokesman.
