From the Daily Telegraph:

AN Afghan soldier and a Taliban militant have been killed during a failed attempt to assassinate a local police chief in southern Afghanistan.

Insurgents on Wednesday ambushed the police chief of Maineshan district as he was travelling to Kandahar city, killing one soldier and leaving two missing, Kandahar provincial spokesman Khalid Pashtun said today.

"After this attack 50 soldiers went on a search operation to the area of the fighting to find the Taliban.

"Government soldiers arrested 10 Taliban with their motorbikes and weapons."

The body of a Taliban fighter was left at the scene after the attackers fled, Mr Pashtun said.
