NATO strike kills 9 14 Afghan rebels
2006-08-22
NATO security force in Afghanistan killed nine rebels, including a man believed to be a prominent commander, in a "precision" air strike in the insurgency-hit south, the force said on Monday. The raid was launched shortly before midnight Sunday in Nowzad in Helmand. The ISAF said it believed that among those killed in the operation in Nowzad district was a "prominent insurgent" thought to have planned rebel activities "as well as managing insurgent re-supply in the area".

#4  Fourteen, but not the usual 19? I'm disappointed. Must be that school is back, and therefore, Talibunnies and Saudis are busy brushing up on the Koran before the next Spring Offensive occurs sometime circa April '07.

#3  One thing I don't undestand, is "prominent commander" in rank, the same as say a corporal? Cause they have a ton of them.

#1  No. No. NO! I heard on Hardball yesterday that Afghanistan is a quagmire from all of the panelists...including Andrea Mitchell and Dan Rather.
