Taliban insurgents killed in mountain skirmish By Tom Coghlan in Kabul (Filed: 05/05/2005) Twenty Taliban insurgents died and six American soldiers were wounded yesterday during the latest in a series of bloody skirmishes in south Afghanistan, the US military reported. American forces in a mountainous area of the troubled southern province of Zabul called in air support from helicopters and jets to beat off a concentrated attack on a mixed force of Afghan police and American troops that was investigating reports that a local man had been attacked and beaten. In addition to the US casualties one Afghan policeman was killed and five wounded during several hours of fighting. Four wounded US soldiers were evacuated to Germany for treatment. Their condition was said to be stable. Six suspected Taliban insurgents were reported captured. Despite a US-backed plan to offer amnesty to Taliban members prepared to lay down their arms, militant activity has increased markedly in recent weeks after a winter lull. On April 18 US forces killed 17 militants and captured another 17 in the same area as yesterday's engagement. ------------------------ Yahoo! Groups Sponsor --------------------~--> DonorsChoose.
