The facilitator was responsible for orchestrating a Feb. 4 suicide bombing attack at a police compound; which resulted in the suicide bomber being the only casualty.
Following the police compound attack, the AUP conducted a successful intelligence-driven investigation, which led the AUP to detain two suspects associated with the deceased bomber. The investigators then used information provided by two detainees to identify and locate the primary facilitator of the IED network.
After taking the facilitator into police custody, two IEDs were discovered at his compound and safely reduced.
“The AUP did a remarkable job with their investigation, which led to the apprehension of the IED facilitator, and demonstrated their potential to provide security to the villagers,” said a coalition Special Operations Forces representative.
