KANDAHAR, Afghanistan - Clashes and NATO airstrikes killed at least 36 Taleban terrorists fighters in AfghanistanÂ’s violence-wracked south as terrorist militant attacks left a NATO soldier dead and five others wounded, officials said on Wednesday.
Eighteen suspected grape-picking Taleban were killed in a clash with police Wednesday in the Khake-Afghan district of southern Zabul province, said Jailani Khan, the provinceÂ’s deputy police chief. The terrorists militants left the bodies beside their weapons at the scene, Khan said. There were no police casualties.
| Left the bodies and the weapons, did they? Must have been in a big hurry to bug out. |
Militants also attacked an Afghan army patrol in Zabul, killing a soldier and wounding four, a Defense Ministry statement said. NATO warplanes responded to TuesdayÂ’s ambush, bombing a Taleban position and killing seven terrorists fighters. |
