US kills Taliban militants

One Afghan army soldier was killed and three coalition troops were wounded in the fighting near Tarin Kot, the capital of Uruzgan province, 110 miles north of Kandahar, said US Sergeant Chris Miller.

The coalition soldiers were in stable condition, he said, declining to give their identities or nationalities. It wasn’t immediately clear if there had been airstrikes and if the coalition had recovered the bodies of the dead militants.
