26. NATO claims fewer Taliban attacks
NATO says the number of attacks by Taliban guerrillas in their heartland in southern Afghanistan has fallen significantly since its big military operation against the guerrillas.

NATO estimates it killed about 700 rebels in the two-week Operation Medusa north-west of Kandahar city that ended on September 18.

"Although many challenges remain - and we do not underestimate the problems - there has been a significant decline in violence," NATO spokesman Mark Laity said.

Southern Afghanistan's Kandahar province is considered the bastion of the Taliban.
