KABUL, Afghanistan (AP) – U.S. forces searching for bomb makers raided Afghan homes near the border with Pakistan early Wednesday, exchanging gunfire with militants. Six people were killed.
The U.S.-led coalition said its forces were searching compounds in Khost province for a militant named Bismullah who organized roadside bomb attacks and smuggled weapons. Militants shot at the troops, who returned fire and killed “several militants,” including Bismullah and Rahim Jan, another man suspected of making bombs, the coalition said.
The raid began just after midnight and lasted about an hour, said Mirza Gul, a villager from Hom in Khost province.
