| A three-day offensive by Afghan and allied foreign forces has killed at least 60 insurgents in remote Faryab province, according to the NATO-led International Security Assistance Force (ISAF). This operation against the insurgents -- which produced one of the highest militant casualty tolls in recent months -- started on May 13 in the Qiasar district of relatively peaceful Faryab province. "(Combined forces) killed more than 60 insurgents during clearing operations ... The combined force cleared the area around Ghuchghar village after receiving reports of insurgent activity," ISAF said in a statement on Wednesday. |
