Khost Afghanistan

Dawn news is reporting a pretty large scale battle in Khost overnight 10 Taliban (I am thinking Haqqani network fighters since this is they home base) killed and 12 captured. Three suicide bombers detonated their vests killing a woman and injuring a child. It appears that this group launched an attack while Afghan and US forces were about to go on a joint patrol (not a bad idea) but then after several hours of fighting got rolled up.
