Coalition Forces Kill Several Taliban Weapons Smugglers in Garmser
[ I will be interested in the origin of the weapons: Iranian or Pakistan military are the two top guesses. I would have said US Marines, but there’s a Scots Special unit there with them as well. ]
Coalition troops have killed several militants in southern Afghanistan, the U.S.-led coalition said Friday.
A statement Friday said the militants were involved in weapons smuggling in the Garmser district of Helmand province.
Insurgents on Thursday attacked the coalition troops, who responded with small arms fire and called in airstrikes. The troops recovered weapons and ammunition from the militants following the raid.
