Coalition and Afghan forces hunting a Taliban commander raided a militant sanctuary yesterday, killing an estimated 30 fighters before blowing up a helicopter damaged in an emergency landing.
Victims of another attack in the volatile south that killed 40 militants a day earlier said civilians, including children, were among the dead and wounded. The US military said it had no information on any civilian casualties from Monday's air raids in Uruzgan's provincial capital of Tirin Kot.
