#1: The Battle of Zharei/Panjwei tailed off at dusk in the village of Pashmol on Monday with at least 20 Taliban dead, 20 seriously wounded and six captured, according to Gen. Ahmad (who goes by one name only) of the Afghan Army. "This was by far the biggest engagement since we got here. The intensity level was dialled up to 11 for a while," said Maj. Nick Grimshaw, commander of Bravo Company, which spent about 15 hours fighting its way out of an ambush early Saturday and had further gun battles with Taliban insurgents on Sunday. Three other Patricia infantrymen were hospitalized with injuries suffered during the fighting. Four other Pats were treated for severe heat stroke after daytime temperatures touched 60 C.

#2: Afghan villagers said on Tuesday civilians were killed and wounded when aircraft from a U.S.-led force bombed Taliban insurgents this week. The U.S. military said on Monday U.S. and Afghan government forces attacked an insurgent stronghold in the southern province of Uruzgan early that day, killing more than 40 militants after coalition forces came under fire from the insurgents. It said there were no reports of civilian casualties. But villagers from Uruzgan said many people were killed and wounded in the attacks on the villages of Dehjoaz, Joarshah and Kaker. A doctor at the Kandahar hospital said three wounded women had been brought in. A government health official in Uruzgan said 13 children wounded in the attack had been taken to hospital there.

Air raids conducted by the US-led coalition forces in the southern Uruzgan province of Afghanistan have left at least 60 civilians dead, a law-maker from the restive province said today. "The aircraft pounded three villages namely Deh Jauze, Sarosah and Kakrak, 12 km away from Trinkot, the provincial capital of Uruzgan, Monday morning which lasted from 1:00 a.m. to 4:00 a.m.," Abdul Khaliq told Xinhua. About 30 more civilians were wounded in the air strikes, he added. On the other hand, the US military rejected the claim as baseless.
"No, there was no civilian injured, and we have no report to support the claim," spokesperson of the coalition Tamara Lawrence told Xinhua. The US military in a press released issued on Monday said that the coalition attacks had left more than 40 extremists dead in villages 10 km away from Trinkot.
