Taleban 'down US helicopter' ... have killed 25 militants and eight civilians in a battle in southern Afghanistan. A US military statement said the Taliban launched multiple ambushes on a patrol in the province of Uruzgan on Sunday, before retreating into a civilian area.
Coalition forces then called in an air-strike, which lead to the civilian deaths. Civilian casualties have caused tensions between Afghanistan and its western allies. President Harmid Karzai said on Sunday that coalition air-strikes had only succeeded in killing ordinary Afghans and would not defeat the insurgency.
