Taliban kill 6, raid Afghan hydro dam
Taliban gunmen raided a police post near an Afghan hydro-power dam and killed six policemen, including their commander, a provincial official said on Wednesday. The Kajaki Dam, which supplies power to southern Afghanistan's main city, Kandahar, was not damaged in the late-night attack, said Haji Mohammad Wali, spokesman for the governor of Helmand province, where the dam is located. One Taliban fighter was killed and two wounded when police returned fire, he said. "We have the body of the Taliban fighter," Wali said.Posted by: Dan Darling 2004-11-17 |
