That commando is from the failed mission event involving a downed helicopter, 18 dead American special forces soldiers, one rescued soldier, and 17 dead Afghan civilians.The bodies of six Afghan policemen have been found beheaded in southern Afghanistan, on the same day Taliban guerrillas claimed to have beheaded a missing U.S. commando, officials said on Sunday.[...]
They claimed to have captured the commando in the eastern province of Kunar last month.
The U.S. military said it had no information to support that claim and a search for the man was continuing in Kunar.
Hundreds of people have died, many of them guerrillas, since the Taliban and their militant allies stepped up violence in March ahead of September 18 parliamentary elections, the next big step in Afghanistan's difficult path to stability.
The deaths have included at least 32 U.S. troops killed in action, making 2005 the bloodiest year for U.S. forces since they invaded Afghanistan and overthrew the Taliban in late 2001.
