45 Taliban killed in Afghan clash, US coalition says
 Air strikes and Afghan army gunfire killed more than 45 suspected Taliban fighters in a clash in a southern province just as the holy month of Ramadan began, the US-led coalition said. The battle in the southern province of Uruzgan on Wednesday began when insurgents attacked a joint Afghan army and US-led coalition patrol with rocket-propelled grenades and gunfire, the coalition said. Afghan soldiers "cleared" Taliban fighters from firing positions within the village of Aduzay, while attack aircraft destroyed some fighting positions, it said. Posted by: Fred 2007-09-14 |
