75 Suspected Afghan Insurgents Killed

NATO-led troops killed 75 suspected insurgents on the first day of an operation against Taliban militants in a valley in southern Afghanistan, a British military commander said Tuesday.
The militants died Monday, when British, Danish and Afghan troops fought their way up the Sangin Valley in Helmand province, Maj. Dominic Biddick, a commander of British troops involved in the operation, told The Associated Press.
