Two American service members were killed during an operation in Afghanistan on Friday, the U.S. and NATO forces said, providing no other details on the combat deaths.
A Taliban statement later in the day said insurgents engaged in heavy fighting with Afghan and U.S. forces overnight in the northern city of Kunduz. Zabihullah Mujahid, the Taliban spokesman, said the fighting was still under way Friday; he claimed the insurgents had killed as many as three Americans and nine Afghan commandos.
There are about 14,000 U.S. forces in Afghanistan, supporting embattled Afghan forces as they struggle on two fronts – facing a resurgent Taliban who now hold sway over almost half the country and also the Islamic State affiliate, which has sought to expand its footprint in Afghanistan even as its self-proclaimed “caliphate” has crumbled in Syria and Iraq.

Watch the moment TTC bus crashes into two homesSurveillance video shows the moment a TTC bus crashed into two Scarborough homes causing major damage. Too busy checking their phones! Gee no skid marks no slowing down bet ya a ttc supervisor was on scene and tried to blame the hoise for the avcident that it shouldnt have been on a corner lot. Driving the speed limit on slippery roads doesn’t make you crash into 2 cars and houses. Driver was either asleep, drunk, high or just plain old ignorant. Can’t blame icy roads on this. Also that excuse. I smell BS and cover-up. Fire the driver.
