At least four suspected Taliban guerrillas were killed when helicopter gunships from the U.S.-led force in Afghanistan fired at their vehicle. The incident took place Wednesday in the Nish area, 37 miles north of the former Taliban stronghold of Kandahar, said an official from the Afghan foreign ministry in Spin Boldak. The Taliban guerrillas were returning from neighboring Uruzgan province a day after clashes with Afghan troops there, he said. "They attacked several Afghan forces’ vehicles and looted local government commanders," the official said of the guerrillas. He did not give details.
