80 Bodies Found at Afghan Base

Eighty bodies were found at a base early Sunday in southeastern Afghanistan after insurgents attacked NATO and Afghan military forces on Saturday morning. The province governor, Muhibullah Samim, said the among the bodies found were people from Afghanistan and Chechnya. Those who were killed were said to be insurgents who were armed with rocket-propelled grenades, small arms, and mortars. None of the dead were from NATO, the Afghan military, or civilians. Only a few people from the mentioned groups were injured. United States intelligence in this area knew insurgent groups were planning an attack in this area. With the recent spike in terrorist related activities, the world is paying close attention to terrorist groups.
