Afghanistan

The Taliban took credit for a suicide attack on a military convoy on Jalalabad Road near Camp Phoenix in Kabul; nine ISAF troops, 10 contractors, and several civilians were wounded. Afghan and Coalition forces killed two Taliban fighters and detained a commander and several more fighters in Wardak, Khost, Kandahar, and Zabul. Germany will send an additional 120 soldiers; the UK prime minister believes NATO will send an additional 5,000 soldiers.
