 KABUL, Afghanistan (Oct. 8) - The International Security Assistance Force confirmed the capture of a Taliban improvised explosive device facilitator operating in Marjah district, during an overnight operation in Helmand province Tuesday. 

The facilitator is directly linked to at least three pressure-plate IEDs in Nad 'Ali district. Intelligence tips led the joint security force to a remote compound in Marjah district. Afghan forces used a loudspeaker to call for all occupants to exit the buildings peacefully and the joint security force cleared and secured the compound. 

The joint force then conducted initial questioning with the residents at the scene before detaining the facilitator along with one of his associates. 

The security force did not fire their weapons and they protected the women and children for the duration of the search.
