The Afghan interior ministry said police had killed 30 rebels in an operation Monday in Uruzgan province that continued Tuesday in neighbouring Helmand province, another hotbed of Taliban activity.

"During this operation 30 enemies of peace and stability were killed and 17 were injured," it said, adding that Mullah Mohammad Yaqoub, a "famous Taliban commander," was among the dead.

LOL....another workplace accident kills 3 taliban. That's the taliban's problem, all their experienced guys have already blown themselves up.

Elsewhere, in Khost, three militants were killed and two wounded Monday when a bomb exploded while they were training to use explosives, the Afghan defence ministry said.

"A group of terrorists were training on roadside and remote-control bombs. A bomb exploded during the training session conducted by foreign instructors and killed three of the terrorists," it said.
