NATO: 30 fighters killed in Afghan outpost attack

NATO says insurgents tried to storm a combat outpost in eastern Afghanistan, setting off a battle that killed 30 attackers and wounded five coalition soldiers.

Assailants struck the military post from all sides using small arms, rocket-propelled grenades and mortars. The outpost is in Paktika province's Bermal district. Nearly all NATO forces in the province are from the US military. (AP)
