Five killed in Afghan gunbattle
2005-03-06
A gunbattle between US-led coalition forces and Pakistanis militants in eastern Afghanistan left three Pakistanis militants and two civilians dead, the US military said on Saturday. Two coalition soldiers and three civilians were also wounded in the clash on Wednesday, which began when Pakistanis militants fired on the coalition forces. A statement issued by the US military in Afghanistan did not say where the incident occurred, other than that it was in the east of the country really close to Pakistan.

#1  Just think, a coupla years ago they had gunbattles lasting hours - with no casualties. Some lethality has rubbed off, it seems. And I'll bet they save a ton on ammo, too.
