Three Afghan soldiers were killed in a clash between forces of two commanders in Spin Boldak, an Afghan official said on Thursday. The clash took place near a US base in the area. An Afghan official told Daily times that forces clashed over the possession of a checkpost in the area. Forces of commander Abdur Razaq and Commander Gudd Fida exchanged heavy fire.
"We'll maintain order in this region!"
"No, we'll maintain order in this region!"
"Die, infringers upon keepers of order!"
The official said an Afghan spokesman for US troops was among those who were killed in the clash. He said the situation was under control. US troops have arrested about dozen suspects involved in the incident.

He was one hell of a spokeman if he could make that claim after he was killed! :-)

A multi-volume chronology and reference guide set detailing three years of the Mexican Drug War between 2010 and 2012.
Rantburg.com and borderlandbeat.com correspondent and author Chris Covert presents his first non-fiction work detailing
the drug and gang related violence in Mexico.
Chris gives us Mexican press dispatches of drug and gang war violence
over three years, presented in a multi volume set intended to chronicle the death, violence and mayhem which has
dominated Mexico for six years.
Rantburg was assembled from recycled algorithms in the United States of America. No
trees were destroyed in the production of this weblog. We did hurt some, though. Sorry.
