KABUL, July 16 (KUNA) -- The US-led coalition troops said they killed
several Taliban militants in a joint operation with Afghan security forces in
southern part of the country.
The fighting erupted when Taliban militants attacked a joint patrol of the
Afghan and coalition troops in Shah Walikot district of Kandahar province,
said a military statement on Wednesday.
It said the coalition aircraft also destroyed an enemy truck and fighting
position. There were no reports of injuries to non-combatants, said the
statement.
Meanwhile, the NATO force said their soldiers had abandoned a military post
attacked by Taliban militants three days. Nine ISAF soldiers were killed in
the fighting.
Mark Laity, NATO spokesman in Kabul said the temporary outpost in Wanat
village of Kunar province had been vacated. He said withdrawal of troops from
the area was not something unusual. (end)
