A suspected Taleban militant and at least five others have been killed by US-led coalition forces in Afghanistan. Raz Mohammed, described by the US military as a "high-level Taleban" was killed in the province of Paktika, close to the border with Pakistan. An Afghan woman and two children were also killed in the exchange, a US military statement said.  "Coalition forces were fired on by Raz Mohammed and other Taleban forces when they attempted to capture Mohammed," the US military statement said. | So this wasn't the same group that got wacked yesterday while shooting rockets? |
Two other suspected Taleban militants were also killed in the exchage. The violence came even as a campaign to disarm tens of thousands of Afghan militiamen entered its final phase. |
