 KABUL (AFP) - Afghan and international troops have killed more than 100 Taliban militants in several clashes in the troubled southern province of Helmand over the past three days, the US-led coalition said Thursday. "Afghan National Security Forces and coalition forces killed over 100 insurgents during combat operations in Helmand province August 25-28," the coalition said in a statement. "Numerous engagements" were sparked when troops were attacked several times by insurgents armed with guns, rocket-propelled grenades and mortars, it said. "The patrols returned fire and called in close-air support against the insurgents," it added. It was not possible to independently verify the figures. Posted by: GolfBravoUSMC 2008-08-28 |
