KABUL, Afghanistan — A joint Afghan-NATO operation in a volatile region in the country’s dangerous south has killed 40 militants, including the Taliban’s leader in that region, a government official said Monday.
The fighting came as Britain’s leader Gordon Brown announced 300 more British troops were deployed to Afghanistan.
The operation in the Nad Ali and Murja districts of Helmand province began Thursday and continued through Monday, said Dawood Ahmadi, spokesman for Helmand’s governor.
