A dozen killed as two U.S (ABV) tanks torn apart by landmines in Marjah

HELMAND, Feb. 23 - Mujahideen's bombings on later Monday night tore apart two of the U.S tanks within minutes of each other in Nari Zeber area of Marjah, Nad Ali district, Helmand province.

According to the report, almost all the U.S soldiers inside the tanks were killed whose corpses were later evacuated by the helicopter but the wreckage of the struck tanks were left burring in the explosion site.

The report adds the tanks were apparently the advanced U.S Assault Breacher Vehicles which can plow the mines field and neutralize or cause the mines to explode even hundreds of the meters far from the tanks without being damaged by the mines blasts.
