[Tolo News] More than 100 forces of Evil have been killed by foreign troops in an operation in eastern Kunar province... which is right down the road from Chitral...
during the past week, Isaf said.
The operation to clear forces of Evil was conducted in Ghazi district of the province. Three local commanders and 115 other fighters were killed, according to Isaf.
Kunar's governor, Fazlullah Wahidi, said the operation would bring peace to the province.
Kunar shares a border with Pakistain and recently forces of Evil have been active in the province, targeting local Afghan officials and police check points.
The operation coincides with reports saying that the United States has deployed hundreds of troops along the Afghanistan-Pakistain border.
Nearly 500 soldiers have been moved to the region bordering Pakistain's North Wazoo tribal area, a senior Pak government official said.
The official added that the motive behind the shift was as yet unknown, but that the deployment could be part of a military drill to later launch a ground assault against the Taliban-allied Haqqani network of cut-thoats.
