Summer Offensive "06": Good Guys - 72 Bad Guys - 0
Canadian soldiers in Afghanistan were embroiled in fierce fighting overnight that left as many as 72 suspected Taliban insurgents dead, according to NATO officials. "Witnesses at the scene say there were bodies everywhere, in and around this village that has been a Taliban hotbed where they had been amassing recently," reported CTV's Matt McClure from Kandahar.
"It's almost as brutal as the Yankee - Red Sox series"
No Canadians were killed in the fighting west of Kandahar that began late Saturday and lasted through the night, thanks in part to careful planning by the soldiers' new battle group commander.
