| Three coalition soldiers were injured when they came under fire in eastern Afghanistan, a U.S. military spokesman said at Bagram Air Base. The names and nationalities of the coalition soldiers were not revealed. Col. Rodney Davis said a quick reaction force was deployed from the nearby Shkihn base, in eastern Paktika province, and two A-10 Thunderbolt II jets gave air support but did not drop any ordnance. Four insurgents were killed in the clash, which lasted about 90 minutes, he said. 3 wounded, 4 snuffies killed = a good day The U.S.-led coalition has 11,500 soldiers in Afghanistan most of them Americans to hunt down Taliban and al-Qaida fighters, mainly in the south and east of the country. south and east?

Four Afghan men were detained and were being questioned. use that bullwhip that was posted on the other day |
