4 People Killed In Bombing (S.S- international)

On Tuesday in southern Afghanistan, four coalition members were killed when their vehicle hit an improvised bomb. It happened when the coalition members were on patrol with the Afghan National Security Forces. In addition to the coalition members dying, a civilian that was working with them was also killed. Also, on the same day, Afghan National Army soldiers, who were with coalition members, killed sixteen militants. The troops were on patrol and came under fire from various positions. The militants started firing rocket propelled grenades and mortars so the troops used precision strikes to kill the militants. After the incident, the troops cleared a compound from which the militants had been firing and found materials to make improvised bombs. It's so sad that so many people are dying. Some of the people were just using self defense but ended up being killed.
