Kabul, 11 August (AKI) - Six Taliban militants have been killed and three American soldiers and an Afghan interpreter injured in clashes in eastern Afghanistan. "Afghan and US forces in Paktika province were conducting offensive operations near Wazikwa to defeat and disrupt enemy activity," said a statement issued by US military command in Afghanistan.
The militants fled towards a cave complex on coming into contact with the joint Afghan and US patrol, who pursued them, killing one. The three US troops and interpreter were injured during the fight and were treated at medical facilities on nearby US military bases. They are said to be in a stable condition.
Several hours later the same joint Afghan and US patrol found and killed another five militants.

Does anyone know what unit? If you do know please don't post it. Thanks.
So now they are called 'militants' instead of terrorists?
What country is this Web site in? How on earth did you find it?
AKI is an Italian news agency that does a very good job reporting on the WOT.
I saw it was an Italian newspaper but I've never heard of it before. I should have known that you would find it if it contained bad news for the terrorists. You do a great job with your summaries every day. Thanks!
I wonder where I found it. Probably it was some one else on Free Republic that posted from AKI which I have noticed, and I found it very useful. I don't know the background of AKI, but they sure seem to have great access to valuable information.
