NATO says Afghan and coalition forces have killed more than 50 insurgents during a military operation in eastern Afghanistan.The coalition said Friday the fighting occurred in Paktika province's Sar Rawza district during the clearance of a Haqqani network encampment. The network is affiliated with al-Qaida and the Taliban.
NATO said the site was an area where insurgents moved foreign fighters into the country to help carry out attacks across Afghanistan.
Disenfranchised insurgents had notified NATO of the camp's location.
