5 killed in US raid near Kandahar


WASHINGTON, May 13: US special operations forces raided a suspected Taliban or Al Qaeda compound north of Kandahar on Monday, killing five people and capturing 32 others, a Pentagon spokesman said.

The raid was launched at 2000 GMT (2am PST) Sunday on a compound about 80kms north of Kandahar, said Marine Lieutenant Colonel David Lapan.

“Five people were killed, 32 were taken into custody,” he said.

“The compound that they raided was a suspected sanctuary for Taliban and Al Qaeda forces,” Lapan said.—AFP
