Spokesman of Taliban fighters, Dr. Muhammad Hanif, phoned Afghan Islamic Press and said, “Our fighters blew up a US military vehicle with a remote controlled landmine in Maidan Shehar last night.” He added that three US troops were killed in the explosion and the vehicle was destroyed completely. When Afghan Islamic Press contacted spokeswoman of coalition forces, Tamara Lawrence, she said, “The Taliban are making false and exaggerated claims of success. There is no information to support their claim.” |
