Blackanthem Military News, KABUL , Afghanistan – Afghan and Coalition forces detained two militants in an operation early Tuesday against militant Taliban forces in the Mandozai district of Khowst Province.
Coalition forces acted on credible intelligence identifying the location suspected of housing local Taliban and al-Qaeda fighters. A search revealed two suspected militants.
Two females in the house were wounded by flying debris during the operation: one 13-yr-old girl had minor abrasions and a 25-yr-old woman received a wound to her underarm. She and her family refused medical evacuation for the injury, and the medics on site determined it was not necessary. Medical personnel treated the wound, giving her antibiotics and instructions on how to care for it.
“Civilian injuries are always regrettable, and coalition forces train extensively on how to avoid them,” said coalition spokesman Army Major Chris Belcher. “When Taliban and al-Qaeda operatives hide among their families, they are putting everyone in harm’s way.”
The detainees will be questioned as to their involvement in militant activities.
No shots were fired during the operation.
