US: More than 130 Taliban killed

The US-led coalition has said its troops have killed more than 130 Taliban fighters in Afghanistan over the past several days. The fighters were killed in two separate battles in the western province of Herat, the US military said in a statement on Monday, suffering their heaviest losses this year.

Herat, bordering Iran, had been relatively safe until recently compared with the south and east, where the Taliban are most active. [More]
