TWO AFGHAN GOVERNMENT SOLDIERS REPORTEDLY KILLED BY TALIBAN
Two soldiers loyal to Kandahar Province Governor Gol Agha Sherzai were
reportedly killed on 2 April in fighting with Taliban forces in Spin
Boldak, near the Afghan-Pakistani border in Kandahar Province, the
Pakistan-based Afghan Islamic Press (AIP) reported. A Taliban commander
named Abdul Rahim claimed that his forces overran the Toro and Alizo
border posts in the vicinity of Spin Boldak and burned "to ashes a
U.S.-run school in Loi Kariz," Islamabad's "The News" reported on 2
April. Abdul Rahim denied the reports that forces loyal to Sherzai have
killed 19 Taliban fighters (see "RFE/RL Newsline," 1 April 2003). AT
