Afghan opposition claims many US troops killed in recent months. I don't take these reports at face value, but it does look like the Bushies are covering up considerable losses. We can expect a lot more of the same if they attack Iraq. 37 Attacks Alleging 60 American Deaths In Six Weeks: Report Feb 22, 2003 Source: Dharb I Momin, Translated by Jihad Unspun The secret Army of Islamic Mujahideen in Afghanistan claimed Monday, February 17, that more than 60 American soldiers were killed and hundreds injured in attacks on US Special forces and the International Security Assistance (ISAF) during the period between December 22 and February 4. In a statement faxed to Dharb-i-Momin in Pahsto, the number of operations against the foreign forces at the period hit 37, including killing nine American soldiers and wounding 48 others in three-day clashes in Kandahar late in January.
