65 halal-fanatikere farer til helvede

.....eller hvor islamiske fanatikere nu ender når de bliver aflivet. Afghanske tropper stod for aflivningen af 28 fanatikere (CNN):

Insurgents attacked an Afghan army position near Angore Adda in Paktika province late Sunday, triggering a four-and-a-half hour clash with both sides using heavy weapons, said ministry spokesman Gen. Mohammed Zaher Azimi.

He said the militants eventually fled, leaving behind 28 dead bodies of their fighters. Four Afghan army soldiers were injured, one seriously.

I Pakistan var kampene en del hårdere (CNN):

Pakistani troops battled suspected al Qaeda and Taliban militants for a third straight day in the mountainous region along the Afghan border, known as North Waziristan, a Pakistani intelligence official told CNN Sunday.

The fighting and related operations have left at least 37 militants and 14 soldiers dead. Three soldiers were killed in the overnight fighting and eight more were wounded.

According to the intelligence official, the Pakistani army killed two "terrorists" and arrested two others after an exchange of gunfire at a checkpoint in North Waziristan. The army recovered important documents from the militants, the official said.

Jamen god arbejdslyst, da.

Update:

Der er også gode nyheder fra Irak:

U.S. troops battled insurgents holed up in houses and driving explosives-laden vehicles in a second town near the Syrian border Sunday, killing 28 in an expansion of their two-day-old offensive chasing al-Qaida fighters along the Euphrates River valley, the military said.
