| US and Afghan troops repelled a Taliban assault on a base in eastern Afghanistan, killing at least eight fighters, in the latest Taliban attempt to overrun a US outpost. A Taliban force, whose size has yet to be determined, opened fire on Forward Operating Base Fenty in the Behsud district in Nangarhar, an ISAF spokesman told The Long War Journal. The Taliban opened fire with small arms from "insurgent fighting positions," the International Security Assistance Force said in a press release on the incident. A combined US and Afghan quick reaction force counterattacked the Taliban after identifying the enemy positions, and broke up the attack. US troops estimated Meaning we were still chasing them and hadn't stopped to count, or the remaining parts were too small to tell how many they came from? that eight enemy fighters, including one who was wearing a suicide vest, which indicates AQ, not just 'bunnies were killed during the counterattack. No US or Afghan casualties were reported. |
