(AP) NATO-led troops killed 75 suspected insurgents on the first day of an offensive against Taliban militants in a valley in southern Afghanistan, a British military officer said Tuesday.<\/p>\n

The militants died Monday, when British, Danish and Afghan troops fought their way up the Sangin Valley in Helmand province, Maj. Dominic Biddick, who commanded a company of British troops in the operation, told The Associated Press.<\/p>\n

Biddick said the troops detained several more suspected militants and discovered an arms cache during \u00ab\u00a0a full day of fighting.\u00a0\u00bb<\/p>\n

One British soldier was wounded, he said, without providing any details of his condition.<\/p>\n

\u00ab\u00a0The operation went better than most people had anticipated,\u00a0\u00bb Biddick told an AP reporter traveling with his unit. \u00ab\u00a0At one point, there were six companies in clashes at the same time.\u00a0\u00bb<\/p>\n

His tally of 75 insurgents killed could not be independently verified.<\/p>\n

The Sangin Valley mission is part of Operation Achilles, NATO’s largest-ever maneuver against the Taliban, which began in March.<\/p>\n

The operation is focused on reclaiming Helmand province, Afghanistan’s most volatile, from insurgents so that the government of President Hamid Karzai can expand its reach. <\/p><\/blockquote>\n

Il y a certainement un r\u00e9servoir immense de terroristes au Pakistan, mais tant qu’ils sont tu\u00e9s en Afghanistan plut\u00f4t qu’ils ne se fassent sauter dans des bus londoniens ou parisiens, les troupes de l’OTAN en Afghanistan sont utiles. Nos arm\u00e9es ne nous seront pas d’une grande aide en patrouillant dans les gares (oops, c’est d\u00e9j\u00e0 ce que fait l’arm\u00e9e fran\u00e7aise…).<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
