| 2008-08-30 |
| (AKI) - More than 24 militants were killed in two separate battles with US-led coalition troops in Afghanistan, the coalition said on Friday. Half the militants were killed after they attacked a coalition base in the Shaheed Hasas district of southern Uruzgan province on Thursday. Two Afghan guards died during the attack. In a separate attack, about a dozen militants died during a raid by coalition troops in eastern Paktika province on Thursday, the coalition said. Foreign troops searched compounds in Paktika's Bermel district in a hunt for a militant wanted for the movement of foreign fighters from Pakistan into Afghanistan. Militants fired on them during the search and coalition forces returned gunfire, killing the militants. The coalition said on Thursday it had killed more than 100 Taliban supporters in three days of clashes in the southern province of Helmand. |
