About 80 Taleban fighters have been killed in clashes with forces from the
US-led coalition in Afghanistan's Helmand province, officials say.
A six-hour battle took place near the Taleban-controlled town of Musa Qala,
a coalition statement said.
A joint coalition-Afghan patrol called in air strikes after it came under fire
from rockets and gunfire, with bombs hitting a trench full of Taleban.
There has been no independent confirmation of the numbers killed.
