Afghan, Coalition Forces Kill 38 Militants in Helmand Province

American Forces Press Service

WASHINGTON, Nov. 17, 2008 – Afghan and coalition forces killed 38 militants Saturday in Afghanistan’s southern province of Helmand, military officials reported.

Afghan and coalition forces were conducting a combat reconnaissance patrol in the Nahr Surkh district when they identified armed militants operating in the area. The combined forces engaged the militants with direct and supporting fires, killing 38 and destroying two of their vehicles.

One militant was wounded, treated and taken into custody by Afghan forces. The combined forces confiscated an 82 mm recoilless rifle, a machine gun and several AK-47s from the site.

Also Saturday, the coalition killed five militants and detained 18 during operations aimed at dismantling the al-Qaida and Haqqani foreign fighter networks in eastern Afghanistan.

In Zurmat district, troops detained an al-Qaida terrorist known to finance militant operations and to assist Taliban leaders with the movement and training of Arab and foreign fighters into Afghanistan. The al-Qaida associate was detained during one of several operations targeting the network in Paktia province.

Those operations resulted in five armed militants killed and eight militants detained. Searches conducted during the operations revealed rocket-propelled grenades, several dozen hand grenades, multiple AK-47s and other military equipment. These items were destroyed to prevent future use.

In Khowst province, Afghan and coalition forces netted a Haqqani militant also known to facilitate the movement of foreign fighters into Afghanistan. During the combined operation, the force discovered 10 additional men believed to be militants and seeking safe haven as they moved into Terezai district to conduct attacks. The combined force also found multiple hand grenades and other military style equipment in the compound.

Also Saturday, Afghan National Army Commandos of the 205th Commando Kandak and coalition forces destroyed an insurgent drug processing and distribution facility after engaging enemies in the Spin Buldak district, Kandahar province.

The combined forces discovered the remote facility after receiving reports of illegal activity in the area. Four insurgents fired on the troops with small arms as they approached the compound. The troops returned fire, killing the insurgents.

The facility contained one ton of narcotics, several 55-gallon drums filled with drug processing chemicals and other drug processing equipment. All of the contents were destroyed on site.

Ongoing Operation in Afghan Province Kills 220 Enemy Fighters

American Forces Press Service

WASHINGTON, Aug. 31, 2008 - Afghan and coalition forces have killed more than 220 militants during operations in Afghanistan's Helmand province since Aug. 25, military officials reported.

Attacked repeatedly by militants with small-arms and heavy-weapons fire during multiple engagements, the Afghan and coalition soldiers have responded with small-arms fire, heavy weapons and close-air support, eliminating the militant threats, officials said.

Operations in the area have led to the discovery and destruction of multiple weapons caches containing ammonium nitrate, 107 mm rockets, motorcycles, 60 mm mortar rounds, pipe bombs, machine guns, rifles and small-arms ammunition. Several fortified fighting positions also have been destroyed.

No Afghan or coalition forces servicemembers have been killed during the operations, officials said.

In other news from Afghanistan, coalition forces killed several militants Aug. 29 during an operation to disrupt militant activities in Kapisa province, officials said.

The force attempted to search a compound in Nijrab district, targeting a Taliban commander believed to be involved with smuggling weapons into Afghanistan and conducting roadside-bomb attacks against coalition and NATO forces.

After receiving heavy AK-47 and rocket-propelled grenade fire, coalition forces instructed the militants to come out peacefully in an attempt to de-escalate the situation, officials said. Several women and children left the compound and were moved to a safe area, and the militants in the compound resumed their AK-47 and RPG fire. Coalition force called precision air strikes, killing the militants.
