Coalition Troops Kill 3 Suspected Taliban
February 28, 2007 -- Coalition troops in Afghanistan have killed three suspected Taliban militants in a clash in southern Zabul Province.
District Governor Fazel Bari says the battle took place on February 27. The fighting came after purported Taliban members claimed responsibility for a bomb attack on the same day on a U.S. air base during a visit by U.S. Vice President Dick Cheney.
An Interior Ministry spokesman says 20 people were killed in the attack, including four foreigners.
