Tribal Elders Stand Against Enemy
Local villagers reported to the Sangin area governor that they detained 15 Taliban fighters in the Sangin area, Helmand province May 11.
Local tribal elders, living north of the Sangin District Center area, have become angered with Taliban enemy fighters, due to the aftermath of the battle between joint Afghan and coalition forces and enemy fighters on May 8.
They also reported they fear retaliation from Taliban fighters in the north. The local governor requested Afghan National and coalition forces provide additional security for the village and assist the villagers in defending themselves against Taliban retaliatory attacks. An Afghan and coalition patrol arrived and has assessed the area with the Sangin District chief. Shura meetings have been coordinated to inform the local Afghans of the situation and address their security concerns.
