300 Militants Killed in E Afghanistan Last Year
2011-01-24
A nice number for one of the four compass points... not to mention south of the border, and whatever was accomplished in non-joint operations.
[Tolo News] Nearly 300 gunnies were killed in joint military operations in the east by coalition and Afghan cops last year, foreign and Afghan military officials said Sunday.

The counter-insurgency offensives in eastern Afghanistan ended up with deaths of 30 Afghan army mercenaries, military officials said.

They said the operations had led to seizure of a huge number of weapon caches.

"255 gunnies were killed, 35 others were nabbed and another 35 were jugged after being maimed in firefights," said General Mohammad Afzal, commander of the second battalion in 202 Selab Corps.
