KABUL: NATO-led forces and Afghan troops killed three suspected militants during a raid Saturday in central Afghanistan, where insurgent attacks have spiked this year, officials said.
The joint force was targeting insurgent commanders in a village in Logar province. The three suspected militants were killed in a gunfight following a call for them to surrender, the statement said.
About 3,000 U.S. troops serving under NATO-led command have been deployed in Logar and Wardak provinces that border Kabul in an attempt to clear these major insurgent strongholds from the capital’s gates.
