[Tolo News] Ten Militants were killed in Nato Arclight airstrikes in eastern Laghman province on Friday, Isaf said.
"Coalition forces targeted the Taliban shadow district governor for Hesarak, Laghman province, killing more than 10 gunnies with two precision Arclight airstrikes in the province yesterday", Isaf said in a statement.
The targeted Taliban shadow district leader had conducted attacks against Afghan government, added the statement.
Taliban have not yet commented on the operation.
Nato and Afghan forces have started heavy military operations against gunnies in different parts of the country in which dozens of Orcs and similar vermin have been killed or maimed.
There are around 152,000 Nato and US troops in Afghanistan fighting against a Taliban-led insurgency.
Afghan forces will undertake full security responsibility by the end of 2014 when foreign forces will leave Afghanistan.

[Tolo News] At least ten snuffies including a Taliban capo were killed in Afghan and Coalition forces' offensive in eastern Khost province Friday night, officials said.
It's winter. They show up on infrared, poor things. On the other hand, it would probably be worse for them if they didn't at least start out radiating...
The joint operation was conducted by Afghan and Coalition forces on Friday night in Sabari and Yaqubi districts of Khost during which ten bully boyz including a Taliban capo were killed in the operation, Isaf Media office told TOLOnews news hound on Saturday.
Isaf said one child was killed, and two women and a child were maimed in festivities between snuffies and Afghan and Coalition forces.
Civilian shields or the capo's family?
Taliban have yet to comment about the operation.
"Mahmudullah, answer the phone, dammit! Maulana, he's not answering his cell phone -- do you think something might have gone wrong?"
Sabari, Yaqubi, Bak and Alisher are among the insecure districts where snuffies carry out their activities.
Khost province is bordered by Pakistain and snuffies have previously attacked on foreign bases and Afghan police check posts in the province.
That's generally how they get themselves killed. How many of those who volunteer to replace them are actually spies, calling in UAV targets?

[Arab News] Rebels in Sudan's western Darfur region ambushed a small army unit Friday, triggering an hours-long clash that killed 21 people, including 13 rebel fighters, the military said.
Army front man Capt. Sawarmy Khaled said the rebels behind Friday's attack were led by the main Justice and Equality Movement, which has been involved in faltering peace talks with the government. The fighting took place on a main north-south highway in the vast desert region, he said in remarks carried by the Sudan News Agency.
The Darfur conflict began in 2003. As many has 300,000 people have died in the fighting between forces from the Arab-led central government and rebel factions whose demands include greater control over natural resources.
At least 2.7 million people have been displaced inside Darfur and in neighboring Chad.
More than two years of talks in Qatar under the mediation of the Gulf state's leaders have failed to reach a comprehensive peace deal.
Fighting flared in December, and the government walked out of the talks in Qatar. Mediators, however, have said the peace talks are not dead and that shuttle diplomacy between rebel groups and the government are taking place.
Khaled said the military was carrying out what he described as a wide-ranging mopping-up operation in search of the remnants of Friday's attacking forces.
Several of the rebel group's spokesmen could not be reached for comment Friday night.

[Geo News] Anti-terrorism Court on Saturday extended the physical remand of former city police officer Syed Saud Aziz and SP Khurram Shahzad for ten days.
FIA team produced both the officers before the court and requested for extension in remand period to recover cell phones that were in their use on Dec 27, 2007, the day Benazir Bhutto was assassinated in a gun-and-kaboom.
Left at the scene in 2007, were they? But they were heard ringing when pinged yesterday, so now it's just a matter of searching the area until they're found?
The trial court judge expressed surprise over the statement of defence lawyers in the high court that mobile handsets given to Sherlocks by the coppers were not the ones they were using in 2007.
Earlier, counsel for the two officers had informed the trial judge that their mobile sets were handed over to Sherlocks. While Saud Aziz said that he has provided all the record of his telephone calls to the team.
The next hearing of the case would be conducted on February 01.

[Asharq al-Aswat] A Paleostinian was killed and two others were seriously maimed in an kaboom in the Gazoo Strip on Saturday, the Hamas, always the voice of sweet reason, interior ministry said.
Work accident?
Paleostinian emergency services had said earlier the casualties were the result of Israeli artillery fire, a report denied by Israel's military.
That's what they get for hiring the colourblind to assemble the things. But when the family trees aren't even barber poles, there is less to choose from.
The blast was caused by an unwent kaboom! shell left over from Israel's assault on Gazoo in December 2008-January 2009, according to the interior ministry of the Islamist movement Hamas which controls Gazoo.
Ohhhh... they weren't assembling, they were hammering it apart. It wasn't about seeing colour, then.
The three Paleostinian casualties, aged in their 20s, were taken to Shifa hospital in Gazoo City after the incident which took place to the east.
An Israeli military front man earlier denied the army was involved in what he termed "an internal Paleostinian affair," meaning an accident while handling explosives.
A mortar shell was fired on Friday from Gazoo, he said, without causing casualties or damage as it landed in the Negev desert.
"We're Israel. We don't need to actual fire anything to cause casualties and damage. We can do it with history and our minds," he explained thoughtfully.

'Range Check' for the coming festivities?
Last I heard, Mullah Richard, the Gazans had reached the "couldn't hit the broad side of a barn" level of accuracy with the things. A good portion land somewhere unmentioned within Gaza itself.
Intelligence sources have warned of possible terrorist militant attacks against security forces in Yala province after reports indicated separatists are stockpiling war weapons in the region.
A source from a local security intelligence agency said yesterday it had received reports that a group operating in Yala's Raman and Bannang Sata districts had given its fighters three M-79 grenade launchers to attack police and military installations in the two districts.
Such an assault would probably involve firing grenades from the rear of the outposts. This tactic was used in Wednesday night's raid on a military camp in Narathiwat in which four soldiers were killed and scores more were injured.
An insurgent group in Bannang Sata has reportedly recruited 45 fighters who recently completed combat training.
A source familiar with the jihad insurgency in the deep south said the Muslim separatist movement has increased community relations activity to stop people from supporting authorities.
"community relations" LOL
The source said the terrorists separatists haff vays have devised ways to force locals into keeping away from the authorities. Typically they send threatening letters or messages to people thought to be cooperating.
Terrorists Insurgents have also stepped up counter-intelligence operations and are using spies to infiltrate the government's security agencies.
Meanwhile, Pol Gen Adul Saengsingkaew, the deputy national police chief, yesterday ordered an investigation into Wednesday's deadly attack on the army outpost.
Winthai Suwaree, newly-elected deputy spokesman for the Internal Security Operations Command, insisted the terrorists insurgents who attacked the base did not set out to steal weapons.
He scoffed at the media's comparison of the incident with the arms raid at a military depot in early 2004, which triggered the current jihad in the far South.
"The [militants'] goal was not to steal weapons but to attack the army camp," Lt Col Winthai said. Weapons were seized by the attackers, but Winthai said the terrorists insurgents had taken the weapons as they left after the assault. It appears that about 20 automatic rifles were stolen.
Thailand's southern army commander says he is confident that the terrorists insurgents who attacked an army outpost in Narathiwat last week will soon be caught.
Speaking about Saturday's arrest of one of the suspected attackers, Fourth Region Army commander Lt-Gen Udomchai Thammasarorat said that the suspect was only the rest will be tracked down soon.
Gen Udomchai told a press conference that the terrorists insurgents wanted the military to quit but he asserted the army would continue.
Reasserting that the military would not get caught in the insurgent's trap, he said some of the attackers' identities were now known.
"We believe the attackers came from several areas. In fact, they don't have much force in particular areas as many local people worry [at the insurgent presence]," said Gen Udomchai.
Meanwhile, His Majesty the King on Sunday offered a handful of earth through the governor of Narathiwat province to the body of a Thai Muslim soldier killed by the terrorists insurgents at the army outpost. The burial ceremony in Chanae district and attended by government officials, relatives and locals.
Meanwhile, a 69-year-old man was gunned down by an unidentified gunman Saturday in Narathiwat province, but police said his body was not found until early today at a palm oil plantation.
The victim was shot with an 11-mm pistol in the head and hip Saturday, but his body was not discovered by his wife until early Sunday after being informed by villagers.
Local residents said bombs had been planted in the plantation twice in the past, but the victim had not been harmed previously.
[Straits Times] THE military says troops have found bomb-making materials in a camp abandoned by Al-Qaeda-linked forces of Evil in the southern Philippines.
Brig Gen Nicanor Dolojan says soldiers discovered the Abu Sayyaf camp on Friday outside Al-Barka township on Basilan island.
He says they found two homemade bombs, 14 mortar rounds and other bomb-making materials.
He says the soldiers stumbled upon the camp while hunting for a maimed Abu Sayyaf commander, Nurhassan Jamiri, who has been blamed for beheadings, kidnappings and bombings on Basilan.
The Abu Sayyaf is on the US list of terrorist organisations.
One of its bombs killed two US soldiers on southern Jolo island in September 2009.
