ANP detain insurgent commander in Ghazni

Written by Bagram Media Center Sunday, 09 September 2007 21:00

BAGRAM AIFIELD, Afghanistan- Afghan National Police, advised by Coalition forces, detained the Taliban district commander of Andar, Ghazni and four others in an operation designed to disrupt insurgent activities in Ghazni Province early this morning.

Maulawi Ahmad Jan is known to be extensively involved in the coordination of insurgent activities in Ghazni Province. He has directed IED and ambush attacks against ANSF and Coalition forces throughout the region.

During the search of Ahmad Jan’s compound, ANP discovered a weapons and ammunition cache.

No shots were fired during the operation and no non-combatants were harmed.

“With Ahmad Jan now detained, Ghazni will be a less dangerous place,” said Army Maj. Chris Belcher, a Combined Joint Task Force-82 spokesperson. “Information gained as a result of Ahmad Jan’s capture will undoubtedly result in further interdiction of Taliban fighters and leaders in the area.”
