Taliban Ambush Kills 10 Afghan Soldiers
Taliban fighters ambushed and killed 10 government troops and two children traveling with them in southern Afghanistan, a military official said Thursday. The soldiers killed one of the Taliban attackers and captured another in the fighting in the Dara-e-Noor area late Wednesday, said Gen. Atta Mohammed, director of Afghan special forces in Kandahar. The one they killed is the lucky one. The troops were about 45 miles north of Kandahar when up to 16 Taliban fighters ambushed their truck, Mohammed said. The children of one soldier were riding in the vehicle. Cruising along fat, dumb and happy again. Theyâll learn. Afghan government troops, along with nearly a dozen U.S. forces, were in the area Thursday searching for Taliban rebels, Mohammed said. Track them down and kill them. Posted by: Steve 2003-10-02 |
