The U.S.-led coalition said Friday it had launched an air strike on a meeting of top Taliban commanders in a militant stronghold in Afghanistan, and local officials said more than a dozen rebels and civilians had been killed. The coalition issued a brief statement on the strike Thursday in a remote area of Baghran district in southern Helmand province, saying it targeted two Taliban commanders. It gave few other details and no word of casualties. Afghan Defence Ministry spokesman Gen. Mohammad Zahir Azimi said the strikes killed three senior Taliban, including the commander for Helmand province, Mullah Rahim. About one dozen other militants were killed, he said.

#3 Taliban militants were hanging two local people accused of spying for the government. Other villagers had come out to watch when the bombs fell, he said. Sounds like the opening to "The Good, the Bad and the Ugly". |

#2 I remember the Riverside (CA) paper would often run headlines like: Budget may be balanced. Iraq may pull out of Kuwait. Just about anything may happen. |
