In Kohe Safi mountains near Kabul troops uncovered hundreds of mortar and rifle rounds, rockets, and over 120 ammunition cases labeled in Chinese stored behind a goat pen. The 60-man unit, aided by ISAF intelligence, calls it one of Afghanistan’s largest caches found, tied to al Qaida and Taliban remnants.

U.S. Troops Killed in Afghan Ambush Near Bagram
Four gunmen on motorcycles attacked a U.S. reconnaissance patrol in southern Afghanistan, killing two Americans and wounding a third, with three Afghan soldiers also wounded. The ambush follows a prior deadly incident and implicates Taliban fugitives and al Qaida, plus Gulbuddin Hekmatyar loyalists, in the broader fighting.
