32 militants killed in Afghanistan
Kabul |Saturday, 2009 4:05:19 PM IST
 

Thirty-two militants and a foreign soldier were killed in fighting in Afghanistan's eastern Paktika province Saturday, officials said.

The foreign soldier was killed when a militant detonated his explosives-laden car near a security forces' headquarters in Zirok district at around 6.30 a.m., spokesman of the provincial government Hamidullah Zhawak said. An Afghan soldier was also wounded in the attack.

After that explosion, Taliban militants stormed into the headquarters and a fierce gun battle broke out with the security forces in which at least 32 militants were killed, Zhawak said.

He added that eight militants were captured after the gun battle.

More than 160 foreign soldiers have been killed in Afghan violence this year.
