Two Afghan government soldiers and three suspected Taliban rebels were killed when rebels ambushed a patrol in the south of the country. The governor of Uruzgan province Jan Mohammad Khan said the clash took place when Taliban forces fired rockets at an Afghan patrol in Gizab district, some 85 km (50 miles) north of the provincial capital Tarin Kot. He said Afghan forces returned fire, killing three suspected Taliban rebels and wounding three others. Taliban fled the area after the ambush and no one was arrested.
