Twelve suspected Taliban rebels were killed and two American soldiers wounded in
a battle triggered by a botched attack on an Afghan army commander, officials
said Tuesday.
Militants fired two rockets at Gen. Khial Baz's car as he traveled over a mountain
pass toward Gardez, 100 kilometers (60 miles) south of Kabul, early Monday, said
police chief Gul Suleyman Khel. Both rockets missed and the general was unhurt.
U.S. helicopters responded by firing rockets at the suspected rebels from the
sky, he said, as dozens of Afghan soldiers and police ferried to the area engaged
the group with small arms.
"Twelve of the enemy were killed," during six hours of fighting, Khel said.
U.S. military spokeswoman Lt. Cindy Moore said U.S. ground forces were also
involved in the fighting and that two American soldiers were injured.
