Nato-led troops killed 17 suspected insurgents who were placing roadside bombs in southern Afghanistan, an alliance statement said today.
The alleged insurgents were discovered placing the explosives outside a military base in the southern Uruzgan province yesterday.
Nato troops then initiated a gun battle and alliance aircraft later dropped two bombs on them, the statement said.
Five insurgent vehicles were also destroyed in the clash. No Nato troops were wounded, according to the statement.
Outstanding job, fellas, keep up the great work

Suspected??? Alledged???
Yopu have 17 scruffy camel jockeys ,with shovels , out digging holes and placing explosives in them and you alledge they are insurgents?
I would say thats a pretty good bet.
Nice!
Great work.
Often times at night, they would dig up street curbs and bury the 155mm shells in concrete. We developed very keen eyes to spot fresh concrete or asphalt and wailed on them with Ma Deuce.
Good job.
Ya think Harris has a chance?
P.S.L, Fl. here.
Good hunting boys. I think this is the beginning of greats things to come.
I am very hopeful. But it is going to take a great effort on the part of FL Republicans. Turnout is the key.
Did you ever wonder how they dug up the curbs and asphalt while the neighbors slept and didnt know what was going on?
Most were afraid to say anything for fear of reprisal.
Well Nelson sure isn't exciting the dems or anone else for that matter.
Let's hope that trend continues. Go Katherine, we are behind you!
No,but we defeated German "neighbors" and Japanese "neighbors",we will defeat the terrorists.
What? Even terrorists in Afghanistan now are *Insurgents*??????
I thought only the Iraqi terrorists are so.
There is no end of the sympathizers of terrorists in the media. What a shame!
Great job and wonderful news!
My point is that the neighbors do know what is going on and since they allow it they are as guilty as the insurgents planting the bombs.
Yes,but we are Americans.
