BAGRAM AIRFIELD, Afghanistan, July 29, 2008 - Several militants were killed
during a coalition forces operation targeting a Taliban leader yesterday in
Afghanistan's Ghazni province, military officials reported. 

Coalition forces searched compounds in the province's Gairo district,
targeting a militant leader known to conduct foreign fighter operations in
Ghazni and Paktika provinces, officials said. 

Militants inside a building and around other buildings engaged the force
with small-arms fire and rocket-propelled grenades. Coalition forces
responded with small-arms fire and air strikes, killing the militants and
damaging a building, officials said. 

During their search, coalition forces found bomb-making materials and rigged
explosives within a building, as well as a vehicle rigged with explosives.
Troops also found several rocket-propelled grenades and a vehicle used to
transport them. 

Coalition forces destroyed the munitions, explosives and both vehicles after
moving all residents to a safe location, officials said.
