Afghan, Coalition Troops Neutralize Taliban

Source Article HERE.

From 'Centcom': Several insurgents were killed by Afghan National Army and Coalition forces during a reconnaissance patrol on April 10th, near Aminah Kalay, Zabul province. A group of insurgents attempted to ambush the patrol using small arms. The ANA returned small-arms and heavy machine-gun fire. During the attack, several insurgents were spotted relocating to a secondary position in an attempt to flank friendly forces. The ANA identified the enemy fighting position, engaged with small arms fire and called in close-air support, eliminating the enemy threat and destroying four motorcycles and three trucks.
