| Three Afghan villagers died on Monday when a Taliban weapons cache exploded in southern Afghanistan, and a dozen of militants were killed in an operation a day earlier, police said. Four other villagers were wounded when weapons and explosives hidden in a stable in a village in the southern province of Ghazni blew up, provincial deputy police chief Muhammad Zaman told AFP. “The Taliban had hidden lots of weapons and explosives in a stable. The stock went off for unknown reasons, killing three civilians and injuring four others,” Zaman said. Taliban killed: Separately, 12 Taliban-linked rebels, including two militant commanders, were killed in an operation on Sunday by international and Afghan forces in Uruzgan province further south, provincial police chief Juma Gul Hemat said. “We had a joint clean-up operation with coalition forces in Chora district. We came in contact with the Taliban and fighting erupted. During the fighting, 12 Taliban were killed,” Hemat told newsmen. |

| #1 Guess they finally found the right microwave frequency to trigger C-4 without a detonator. Maybe we'll see more of these in the coming weeks. |
