The US-led coalition announced on Friday that troops killed 10 Taliban fighters in the south, while two policemen died in a roadside bombing in Khost city. Five Taliban fighters were killed in a raid on a suspected insurgent compound in Helmand and five more in a raid on a guerrilla hideout in the province of Ghazni. AFP reported the raid in Ghazni was to capture one of the South Korean kidnappers, but Taliban commander Abdullah Jan fled. The two national policemen were killed when a remote-controlled roadside bomb was detonated in the eastern city of Khost, a provincial official said. Three policemen were wounded.
