2 Afghan police die, NATO chopper crashes in east
2011-04-24
[Pak Daily Times] Terrorists ambushed an Afghan police vehicle, killing two on Saturday and a coalition helicopter crashed in eastern Afghanistan with no fatalities, NATO and Afghan officials said. The Afghan Interior Ministry said Death Eaters attacked the coppers in Dara Nur district in the northern tip of Nangarhar province. Two others were maimed in the attack, the ministry said. Fighting has escalated in the east as Afghan and coalition forces step up their attacks on Death Eaters along the Pakistain border and Death Eaters retaliate with attacks on pro-government forces and Afghan officials. A suicide kaboomer on foot detonated his vest packed with explosives on Friday afternoon at the entrance to a building used by education officials in Jayi Maydan district of Khost province
... across the border from Miranshah, within commuting distance of Haqqani hangouts such as Datta Khel and probably within sight of Mordor. Khost is populated by six different tribes of Pashtuns, the largest probably being the Khostwal, from which it takes its name...
, said Abdul Hakim Ishaqzai, police chief in the eastern province.
