US forces kill Afghan 'militants'
US forces in Afghanistan say they have killed 14 people during a shoot-out in the south-eastern Khost province. Those killed were suspected militants who opened fire after troops stopped their vehicle, a spokesman said.

But Khost Governor Arsallah Jamal said those killed were working for a private security firm and were not militants.
And no explanation from the Gov as to why workers for a private security firm would open fire on US forces ...
Separately, pro-Taleban militants in Afghanistan say seven of their fighters have died in an air attack by the US-led forces based in Afghanistan. A spokesman for the militants told the BBC the raid happened in the Nangarhar province of Afghanistan, close to the Pakistan border.
