NATO forces kill more than 50 Taliban in Afghanistan

More than 50 Taliban have been killed in Afghanistan's western Farah province after clashes that left seven Afghan and five US soldiers dead, government officials said Sunday. Militants fired mortar rounds at a military-escorted convoy of humanitarian supplies in Farah province on Saturday, sparking clashes, explosions and an air strike by NATO forces helping fight a bloody Taliban insurgency. Around 40 to 50 Taliban were killed. Two American soldiers were killed. One ISAF vehicle was damaged, official said, referring to the NATO-led coalition, the International Security Assistance Force. NATO airplanes then bombed, and the information we have received was that the casualties were not significant from the airstrike. The Taliban who were killed were because of ground clashes with the ANA and ISAF.
