41 Taliban Slaughtered In Battle, Plus Attack On Chechens
KABUL, Afghanistan (AP) - Afghan and international forces killed 41 Taliban militants in a battle in southern Afghanistan.
In southern Helmand province, Afghan and international forces attacked Taliban militants Wednesday morning as they traveled by motorcycle toward the Pakistan border, said Ghulam Dastagir Azad, governor of neighboring Nimroz province.
The troops employed airstrikes during the four-hour battle and killed 41 militants, including 17 from Nimroz, he said. A Taliban commander from Nimroz was among the dead.
The U.S.-led coalition could not confirm the attack. NATO said they were looking into the report, but did not immediately have any information.

The troops had been searching compounds for Taliban traffickers of weapons and foreign fighters when they were came under fire.
In Zabul province, Afghan security forces and NATO troops launched an operation Wednesday against Chechen fighters meeting in Daychopan district, said district chief Fazel Bari. The ensuing two-hour gun battle left three Chechens dead and six wounded, he said.

March 13th, 2008 at 3:07 pmThat “slaughtered” ’should be “disposed of” like the garbage they are. slaughtered conveys that impression they will be missed or that it was a tragedy, and the only tragedy is that there are too many left to dispose of
