At least 23 soldiers were killed in Tajikistan after a convoy was ambushed by heavily armed Islamic militants, a devastating blow that will shake this impoverished nation lying on Afghanistan's poorly secured northern border.
The military convoy was heading for eastern Rasht district, an area near the border with Afghanistan, when it was attacked in a valley Sunday, Defense Ministry spokesman Faridun Makhmadaliyev said Monday. (AP)
