Apaches 20 -- Taliban 0

-- KABUL, Afghanistan (AP) -- About 20 Taliban fighters were killed in a battle with Afghan and U.S.-led forces near a key military supply route in western Afghanistan, a provincial official said Saturday.

Younus Rasouli, deputy governor of Farah province, said police attacked a village in Bala Buluk district Friday after being informed that Taliban militants had ordered residents out and taken it over to use as a base.

The police called in air support from the U.S.-led coalition during the battle, Rasouli said.
Once again... the capricious and unknowable "Will of Allah."
