Afghanistan

President Karzai and challenger Abdullah Abdullah will hold a runoff election on Nov. 7, after Karzai’s vote percent dropped below 50 percent in the final count by Afghanistan’s Independent Election Commission. US and Afghan forces killed six Taliban fighters in Wardak and captured a Haqqani Network facilitator in Khost.
