TWO GOVERNMENT SOLDIERS AND THREE TALIBAN FIGHTERS ARE KILLED IN KHOST PROVINCE
Two Afghan soldiers and three Taliban fighters were reported killed in a clash on 24 April in Shkin, Paktika Province, Iranian state radio's Mashhad-based Dari service reported. An Afghan military source in Khost Province said that the fighting began when Taliban and Al-Qaeda fighters fired rockets at forces of the U.S.-led antiterrorism coalition and their Afghan allies, the report added. There has been no independent confirmation of this incident in Shkin and given the reputation of the Iranian radio, which regularly exaggerates attacks on coalition forces in Afghanistan, the alleged attack in Shkin could be the same battle that took place in Daychopan.
