[Quqnoos] A local Taliban commander was killed Tuesday during a NATO-led operation in the northern Jawzjan province, the forces said. The firefight was burst out after Taliban militants attacked a convoy of the NATO-led Swedish and Finnish troops in Darzab district of the relatively stable northern province. According to a NATO-led International Security Assistance Force (ISAF) press release, the forces called for nearest air support and consequently a militant was killed and two more were injured.
"Ja, sure! Give us some air support! Dey bane shootin' at us!"
The Swedish and Finnish troops stayed unharmed in the fighting that lasted about an hour.
"You okay, Sven?"
"Ja, sure!"

"Erkki?"
"Ja, suure! Do we have anymore gin?"

Jawzjan is a relatively peaceful Afghan province bordering Uzbekistan.
