KABUL, Sept 5: Two British soldiers were killed on Wednesday and 75 more rebels reported dead in new clashes in Afghanistan, including in an area where the Taliban held 19 South Koreans hostage until last week.
The fresh bloodshed comes after days of heavy battles between Taliban fighters and international troops that has left more than 300 rebels dead in just over a week, according to a count based on reports.
