Forces of two regional Afghan army commanders, both loyal to President Hamid Karzai, clashed in southern Afghanistan, leaving three soldiers dead and wounding two others. The fighting between the soldiers of commanders Abdul Raziq and Gud Fahida erupted Monday near a U.S. base at Spin Boldak, district chief Fazaluddin Agha told The Associated Press. One of the Afghan soldier's killed, Sakhi Dad, was also a part-time translator for the U.S. army. Agha said the fighting had stopped. He had no details on what caused the clash.
