Afghan, NATO troops kill, wound two dozen insurgents |
2008-01-20 |
Allied fighters belonging to the Taliban, former Afghan Prime Minister Gulduddin Hekmatyar's Hezb-e Islami and al Qaeda are all active in Kunar province, a heavily wooded, mountainous province which borders tribal areas of Pakistan. The rough terrain made it difficult to confirm rebel casualties, ISAF said, but "based on intelligence reports received through a number of sources, insurgent losses are estimated at more than two dozen killed or wounded." There were no casualties among Afghan or ISAF troops or civilians, it said. |
