 Soldiers from the US-led coalition killed eight "extremists" in a firefight in eastern Afghanistan, a US military statement said yesterday. The eight militants attacked coalition troops on Wednesday in the Asadabad district of restive Kunar province, the statement said. "The coalition responded to the attack with small arms, machinegun fire and grenades," it added. No coalition casualties were reported, the statement said. |

| #3 Ah, so now they're "extremists" as opposed to "militants" or "fighters" or "insurgents." Truth be told, they're doorknob dead Islamo-fascists. But what the heck, 8 dead Afghan extremists is a good start. |
