LASHKAR GAH, Afghanistan, April 24 (Xinhua) -- Security forces have killed 20 Taliban militants in Washir district of Helmand province, 555 km south of capital Kabul over the past three days, spokesman for provincial administration Daud Ahmadi said Tuesday.
"Afghan forces backed by NATO-led troops during series of operations in Washir district over the past three days have killed 20 Taliban militants including four commanders namely Mullah Ahsan, Mullah Abdullah, Mullah Abdul Haq and Mullah Assadullah," Ahmadi told Xinhua.
Ten Taliban militants were injured during the operations, he further said.
