cnn.com KABUL, Afghanistan (AP) -- Coalition forces killed 45 insurgents at two camps in southern Afghanistan as they pressed forward with a major anti-Taliban offensive, U.S. military officials said Saturday. On Friday, Afghan and coalition forces surrounded a "known enemy camp" in Khod Valley, Shaheed Hasas district of Uruzgan province, killing an estimated 40 fighters, the military said in a statement. "Coalition forces tracked the development of this meeting until there were more than 50 extremists gathered before attacking the compound," said military spokesman Lt. Col. Paul Fitzpatrick. "The compound was severely damaged, and we anticipate most of those present were killed." Those killed included members of an improvised explosive device cell, financiers, and area leaders responsible for attacks against Afghan civilians and the army, the military said. "Coalition forces have delivered a quick and severe blow to the enemy today," said Fitzpatrick.
