Afghanistan

An airstrike in Badghis province killed 15 Taliban fighters and seven civilians. The attack occurred after Taliban fighters ambushed a joint Afghan and ISAF convoy in the district of Ghormach, a Pashtun pocket in the north. General Petraeus said the Afghan tribes can help with securing the country.
