A member of the Afghan parliament has criticised a Nato air strike on a clinic where a Taliban leader was being treated for his injuries. US and Afghan forces attacked the clinic in the Sar Hawza district of Paktika province, eastern Afghanistan, on Thursday. Khalid Faroqi, who represents Paktika province, said it was an offence to fire on such a facility. Nato says that troops first made sure there were no civilians inside. It says security forces were fired upon as they approached the clinic and responded by ordering helicopter strikes. Amnesty International has called for an investigation into the attack, but added that if the Taliban fired first, they had committed a serious violation. Nato said one soldier was killed and seven gunmen were arrested, but local officials said 12 militants died in the incident. "After ensuring the clinic was cleared of civilians, an AH64 Apache helicopter fired rounds at the building, ending the direct threat and injuring the targeted insurgent in the building," Nato said on Thursday, adding that there were no civilian casualties. Meanwhile, Nato troops and Afghan security forces say they have killed several gunmen, including a woman, in an exchange of fire with militants linked to the Taliban. Officials said that the insurgents were killed in a gun battle in northern Kunduz province as troops approached a militant compound. Nato said a number of weapons were recovered from the compound.

.PAKISTANI troops have killed at least 18 militants including six would-be suicide bombers during an ongoing offensive against Taliban insurgents in northwest Pakistan. Gunship helicopters were called in after intelligence and locals said a suicide attack mastermind was present in Charbagh town in the Swat valley, an area the army previously said had been emptied of militants. "At least six would-be suicide bombers were killed in the shelling by gunship helicopters, the same place was being used as launching pad for training the suicide attackers," an army official said. A military official in Mingora, the main town in Swat and 20 kilometres from where the air raid was carried out, confirmed the strikes in the Mangaltan area of the town and the death toll, adding several militants were also wounded. Separately, the bullet-riddled bodies of six suspected Taliban rebels were found in a village in Swat valley eight kilometres from Mingora, police said. "Six badly mutilated bodies were found from two different places at Odigram," Ghulam Farooq, a senior police official said, adding that the bodies had bullet wounds. It was not clear who had killed them. Earlier this month, 18 suspected militants turned up dead in Swat under similar circumstances. A military official said that since July almost 200 bodies of militants and some civilians had been found in the region.

Nevermind.

abu - ok, if you want me to not worry about a taliban being sent to his bordello in the sky with 77 virgins, that's fine by me.
how did he get such a spastic idea anyway? or was he just loopy from the word go?
