Coalition forces conducted an operation in Tanai District Thursday evening, targeting the Haqqani terrorist network in Khowst province.

The operation targeted a known foreign fighter facilitator for the Haqqani terrorist network, who is also believed to have coordinated militant activities intended to destabilize the region.

As Coalition forces began a search of the compound, the targeted militant detonated a suicide vest, killing himself. No Coalition forces were injured in the blast.
