KANDAHAR, Afghanistan -- Hundreds of Afghan troops backed by U.S. soldiers and helicopters have attacked a suspected Taliban hide-out in southern Afghanistan, killing at least four rebels and an Afghan soldier, police said Tuesday.
The raid started Monday in the Chaar Cheno district, about 90 miles northeast of Kandahar, after troops surrounded the suspected camp, said police chief Haji Mohamemd Akhtar.
The attack was continuing Tuesday, Akhtar said, although it was not clear if there were fresh casualties. He gave no other details.
