6 Afghan soldiers killed in internal clash in Helmand |
2005-01-28 |
Six soldiers from Afghanistan's new national army were killed and six others wounded in an internal clash today, the highest number of casualties the force has suffered in a single day since it was formed three years ago. A defence ministry spokesman said it was not clear if the clash inside a military base in the restive southern province of Helmand was the result of a dispute among the troops or due to ''friendly fire''. |
