2 U.S. soldiers wounded in Afghan attacks
Five government soldiers killed by suspected Taliban fighters

The attacks in three provinces highlighted the security challenge in America*s other war. The top U.S. commander in Afghanistan, Lt. Gen. John Vines, warned Sunday that Taliban fighters, paid and trained by al-Qaida, were pouring into the country from neighboring Pakistan -- a key U.S. ally in the war on terror.
In Afghanistan*s southern Kandahar province, the heartland of the hard-line Taliban regime before its ouster by U.S.-led forces in late 2001, insurgents late Sunday ambushed a pickup truck carrying Afghan soldiers through a mountain gorge.

I'm very glad to see the title is incorrect. Prayers for the wounded, and all the fighting forces out there protecting our freedom.

neighboring Pakistan -- a key U.S. ally in the war on terror. This phrase is getting nauseating.
