BAGRAM AIR FIELD, Afghanistan (July 23, 2008) — Several militants were killed Tuesday during a Coalition forces operation to disrupt militant activities in Wardak province.

Coalition forces searched several compounds in Sayed Abad District targeting a Taliban commander suspected of conducting attacks on Coalition forces, including the June 26 attack in Wardak resulting in the deaths of three Coalition service members and an Afghan Interpreter.

The anti-Afghan forces attacked the Coalition forces with grenades, machineguns and small-arms fire from a house where they were barricaded.  Coalition forces returned fire using small-arms, grenades and an airstrike, ultimately killing the militants.
