Taliban Kill 20 Afghan Bodyguards

With the Regularity that the Taliban are receiving their 72 virgins (Male Goats) these guys are sure to be taken out soon !!!

VOA
Afghan officials say Taliban militants have ambushed a district chief's convoy and killed 20 of his bodyguards in the southern province of Helmand.

Authorities reported Thursday that Mullah Abdul Salaam, the chief of Musa Qala district and a former Taliban member, survived the attack unharmed.

A Taliban spokesman said two militant fighters died and four others were wounded in the ambush Wednesday in Helmand's Kajaki district.

The Taliban controlled Musa Qala for much of 2007, until Afghan and international forces pushed them out in a major security operation.

Still, the militants remain in control of several other districts in Helmand, one of Afghanistan's main drug-producing regions.
