Kabul - Sixty suspected Taliban fighters drowned after they broke a siege and tried to cross a river in southern Afghanistan, while five family members of a police officer were killed by insurgents in an attack in the same region, officials said Saturday.
The militants drowned in the Kajaki district of southern Helmand province on Friday after joint Afghan and coalition forces surrounded a large group of insurgents, the Defence Ministry said in a statement.
'Some 60 of them wanted to cross the Helmand River by ship and flee from the area. The ship sank and all the militants on board were killed,' the statement said.
