HELMAND, Feb. 18 - Mujahideen of the Islamic Emirate killed 9 U.S. soldiers and injured seven others separately in Nad Ali district of Helmand, on Wednesday.
As per detail, 3 Americans were killed in an ambush attack in Nari Mandah area of Nad Ali while the U.S soldiers were on their way to one of their out posts, on later Wednesday morning.
Also on Wednesday, 6 Americans were killed and 7 injured as they came under a surprise attack by Mujahideen on Kwaz Ku road between Marjah and Nad Ali district.
One the other hand, these fatalities come as the U.S-led coalition troops have been caught in six points of Marjah where they have been surrounded by the Mujahideen for the past few days and the coalition soldiers who had been dropped off by the helicopters in different parts of Marjah have been under attacks whose advances have been pushed back by the Mujahideen.
The U.S-led coalition troops have not been able to gain control of Marjah Bazar yet and they have kept meeting with strong resistance from Mujahideen, said a coalition commander.
