KABUL, Aug. 15 -- The U.S.-led Coalition's airstrike against Taliban insurgents in remote areas of eastern Khost province have left over a dozen militants dead Saturday. The press department of Coalition Forces in southeastern Afghanistan told media that 13 insurgents were killed as a result of air raids in Sapera district in the wee hours of Saturday. Taliban militants fighting Afghan and international troops have yet to make comments. In separate incident, according to police, two civilians were killed Saturday in neighboring Paktia province as their car hit a roadside bomb. Aziz Ahmad, the provincial police chief of Paktia, told Xinhua that the incident occurred in Zurmat district in the morning, leaving two civilians dead and four others wounded. Taliban militants have vowed to speed up their attacks against Afghan and international troops mostly in the shape of suicide and roadside bombings as a suicide car bombing in front of NATO-led International Security Assistance Force (ISAF) headquarters Saturday left seven people dead and injuring over 90 others, most of them civilians. |
