US Marines and British troops in a joint operation have killed 12 taliban militant in Garmser area of Afghanisatan. The combined operation was launched two weeks ago to push out Taliban and destroy insurgent support networks.
US-led troops and war planes killed around a dozen Taliban in battle in a southern Afghan district where major anti-insurgent operations are under way, the US military said Tuesday.
The rebels were killed Monday in southern Helmand province's Garmser district, which borders Pakistan and is said to be a nest of militants involved in an extremist insurgency hobbling Afghanistan.
Troops came under fire while searching compounds in Garmser for a Taliban commander involved in supplying weapons to rebels, the coalition said in a statement.
The troops returned fire and "around a dozen militant extremists were killed," it said.
Weapons and ammunition were also found, the force said, without giving further details.
