Yahoo News KANDAHAR, Afghanistan (AFP) - About 100 militants were killed in Afghanistan's Helmand province, half in air strikes that thwarted a major attack on a key town overnight, Afghan and British forces said Sunday.

The attempt to enter Lashkar Gah from three directions was "virtually unprecedented" in the area in the scale of the attacking force and their degree of coordination, British military spokesman Lieutenant Colonel Woody Page said.
It came as the head of the NATO-led force in Afghanistan, US General David McKiernan, again called for more troops and equipment to tackle a fierce insurgency led by the Taliban, who were driven from government in 2001. Between 50 and 60 militants, part of a group of 150 that had been seen massing outside of the town for several days, were killed in air strikes that stopped them from entering Lashkar Gah, the provincial capital, Afghan and British forces said.
Around 40 more were killed in a three-day operation in the nearby Nad Ali district that wound up Saturday, they said.
