Coalition Forces in Afghanistan Kill Militants


NATO-led forces in Afghanistan say troops killed four suspected militants during separate operations.

A military statement released Saturday says NATO and Afghan forces killed three militants during a raid targeting insurgent commanders in Logar province, south of the capital Kabul.

In Khost province, the coalition says one militant was killed after an unmanned spy plane spotted him and two accomplices placing an improvised explosive device.

An unknown number of militants were killed in Kandahar province when NATO and Afghan forces fired on an underground bunker, during an operation targeting a senior militant in Maywand district.

U.S. officials have said they expect violence to rise in Afghanistan in coming months as the United States increases its troop presence there. President Barack Obama has announced plans to send an additional 21,000 troops and trainers as part of a new strategy to combat the growing Taliban insurgency in the country.
