U.S.-led coalition troops killed several militants during a raid on compounds in Nangarhar province, eastern Afghanistan, a coalition statement said Tuesday. It did not say how many were killed. Troops also detained a militant suspected of involvement in helping foreign fighters and conducting bomb attacks, the statement said.
In southern Afghanistan, Canadian Brig. Gen. Guy Laroche said a Canadian soldier was killed when a coalition patrol was ambushed on a road outside Kandahar. Also, a bomb placed on a bicycle hit a car carrying police outside Kandahar, wounding three officers and two civilians, police official Mohammad Shoaib said.
