| NATO and Afghan forces fought a three-hour ground battle with suspected Taliban militants in southern Afghan mountains, killing 15 of them, police said Friday. No NATO or Afghan forces were hurt in Thursday's fighting in Helmand province's Kajaki district, said provincial police chief Ghulam Nabi Malakhel. NATO could not immediately confirm the clash. Malakhel said the troops recovered bodies of some militants, assault rifles, heavy machine guns and grenade launchers. A Taliban group commander, Mullah Azizullah, was among the dead, he said. Also in Helmand, three suspected Taliban died when a land mine they were planting late Thursday on a highway in Grieshk district exploded prematurely, Malakhel said. |
