Afghanistan
Coalition Kills 14 Afghan Militants
2006-06-30

Coalition forces attacked a Taliban safe house and killed 14 militants Friday in eastern Afghanistan, the military said.
Killed is good
Soldiers tracked a group of militants carrying AK-47 submachine guns and rocket-propelled grenades to a compound in the Kamdesh district of Nuristan province, a coalition statement said. 'The extremists were observed hiding and then coalition forces attacked them once they reached their safe house, destroying two buildings in the compound,' the coalition said.
I'm guessing airstrike
The statement said soldiers discovered the remains of 14 extremists. The nationality of the coalition soldiers was unclear. U.S. troops have been operating throughout eastern Afghanistan alongside Afghan forces since April, hunting Taliban militants and their allies in the region, which borders Pakistan.

#5   This morning, from a cave somewhere in Pakistan, Taliban Minister of Migration, Mohammed Omar, warned the United States that if military
action against Iraq continues, Taliban authorities will cut off America's supply of convenience store managers.

And if this action does not yield sufficient results, cab drivers will be next, followed by Dell customer service reps.

It's getting ugly.

#3  Another case of a "safe house" being converted into an "unsafe house."

They just looked to see who was getting the New York Times delivered.

Another case of a "safe house" being converted into an "unsafe house." Been a lot of that going on lately. :)
