In a joint security operation in Afghanistan’s Kandahar province, Afghan and coalition forces have captured a Taliban intelligence operative, who scouted targets and attack sites for suicide bombers based in Pakistan.
“Forces continued efforts to deny sanctuary to terrorists as they successfully conducted the operation, targeting the facilitator who operates out of Kandahar City,” said an ISAF press release.
“The targeted individual is an intelligence operative responsible for providing direction in the form of site selection and target sets for the suicide bombers who reportedly came into the city from Chaman, Pakistan,” it added.
According to the press release, the facilitator “additionally provides support to Taliban operations including recruitment and improvised explosive device facilitation”, and is “closely associated with senior facilitators and has connections within the Dand and Panjwa’i districts’ Taliban networks.”
