Coalition forces entered the building and were fired upon by several armed men. Seven more terrorists were killed...

The radio antennae on the jeep beside him abruptly cartwheeled away and an RPG round sailed gracefully five feet overhead. "Incoming mortar and RPG rounds getting closer and more accurate. Situation critical," he repeated. As the bombardment continued, Bombardier Sam New from 7 Para Royal Horse Artillery, began to feed complex sets of grid references to the disjointed voices of American and British close air support pilots circling high above Helmand....

Taliban fighters in a pocket of Kandahar province in Afghanistan "paid a very heavy price" for going on the offensive against North Atlantic Treaty Organization (NATO) forces, and the NATO response, called Operation Medusa, resulted in a Taliban retreat, General James Jones, commander of European Command and Supreme Allied Commander Europe for NATO, said during a Pentagon briefing on Wednesday.

GAZA, Dec 30 (Reuters) - European Union monitors withdrew from Gaza's border with Egypt on Friday after Palestinian police imposed an armed blockade to protest the killing of a colleague in spiralling internal violence.

Unrest has been growing since Israel withdrew in September after 38 years of occupation. The power struggle among police, gangs and factions waging a 5-year-old uprising against...

United Nations human rights experts yesterday said they had reliable accounts of inmates being tortured at Guantanamo Bay and accused the United States of hindering their attempts to visit detainees at the US naval base in Cuba.
