ARTICLE SNIPPET: “As the Pakistani government continues to push negotiations with Pakistani Taliban commander Baitullah Mehsud, 18 of his fighters were killed while fighting Afghan and Coalition forces inside Afghanistan.

The 18 fighters were among dozens of Pakistanis killed, an anonymous Taliban commander told The News. “They were staying in various houses when someone informed the US forces about their presence. The US planes bombarded their positions, killing most of them.”

The Taliban source said the Mehsud fighters were killed in Helmand province.”
