3,200 Taliban killed in Afghanistan in 90 days
Via Michael Yon, who adds:

Last night I emailed to Colonel Erik Gunhus who is the Public Affairs officer for General Petraeus. I asked:
Erik,
Is there truth to this? A report that we have killed 3,200 Taliban in last 90 days? If so, that would go far in explaining why our casualties are far lower than I expected.
Colonel Gunhus just emailed back that it's true.
London, Dec 1 (IANS) Secret operations of British and US troops have led to the death of nearly 3,200 Taliban militants in just around 90 days in Afghanistan, a media report said Wednesday.

Of the killed or captured Taliban militants, 387 were top level commanders, The Sun reported.

These figures were handed to SAS official Andy McNab at a top-level briefing in Afghanistan capital Kabul.

McNab, however, said some commanders were worried that younger, more radical Taliban fighters will take the place of dead leaders.
