KABUL — Scores of Taliban fighters were killed Tuesday evening as they attempted to storm a small U.S. outpost along the Pakistani border and were driven back by American soldiers, according to U.S. military officials.
The fighting at Combat Outpost Margah, in eastern Paktika province, lasted less than two hours. No U.S. troops were killed. A spokesman for the Paktika governor said that between 50 and 60 insurgents were killed. The U.S. base has become a favorite target for Haqqani network insurgents based in Pakistan.
