14 Taliban die in Afghanistan
Air strikes targeted a convoy of Taliban who had left a meeting in western Afghanistan, leaving 14 suspected militants dead and 10 wounded, a provincial governor said on Friday. The Taliban had met on Thursday to appoint a leader in western Farah province, said Governor Muhaidin Baluch. As the fighters left the meeting in Bakwa district, air strikes hit seven Taliban vehicles, he said.
Two of the 10 wounded lost their legs, and the 14 dead were buried near where they were killed.
Two of the 10 wounded lost their legs, and the 14 dead were buried near where they were killed, Baluch said. NATO’s International Security Assistance Force and the US-led coalition said they had looked into the report, but had no information about it.

In the eastern Khost province, US-led coalition and Afghan forces detained five suspected militants and destroyed a cache of weapons early on Friday, the coalition said in a statement. “Credible intelligence” led the forces to the compound suspected of housing an assassination cell.
