3 soldiers, 7 Taliban killed in clashes


A roadside bomb killed three Afghan soldiers and a clash involving Nato forces left seven militants dead in insurgency-wracked southern Afghanistan, police said yesterday.

The three Afghan troops were killed when an explosive hit their vehicle, also wounding two soldiers, during a patrol of Gerishk district in Helmand province late Monday, said provincial police chief Mohammad Hussain Andiwal.
