In the today's news:

http://news.xinhuanet.com/english/20...nt_8396223.htm

A group of Taliban militants ambushed a police convoy in Maywand and the clash left 14 militants dead but caused no casualties to the police, Kandahar provincial governor Asadullah Khalid said.

Doubtful, but it is possible. These aren't soldiers by any means if a group of thugs tried to attack a swat team in LA, they would probably get wasted. Do you have a right to be cynical and question it, yuppers.

That does sound a little off. Those were just police, not soldiers. And it's not like the militants would've ambushed them with knives.

its possible, sounds like they were all taking part in an operation when they gor ambushed.

generally speaking when they attack they use armor piercing rounds and rockets, with IED's .....and they travel in big groups so that they can kill more of our soliders in one go, we may thing they are just a bunch of twits, but they are pretty well armed

The police must have been tipped off just in time to take cover...
