WASHINGTON, Nov. 7, 2008 – Afghan and coalition forces detained four insurgents during operations yesterday targeting the Haqqani and Taliban bombing and foreign fighter networks in Afghanistan, military officials reported.

In the Tirzaye district of Khowst province along the country’s eastern border, Afghan and coalition forces detained two insurgents during an operation that targeted a suspected terrorist from the Haqqani network, officials said.
