KABUL (Reuters) - U.S. forces said a U.S. and Afghan army patrol
killed 35 militants in Zabul province, east Afghanistan, when the
patrol's convoy came under attack.

Violence has reached its highest levels in Afghanistan since the U.S.-led overthrow of the Taliban
in 2001, and east Afghanistan, which borders Pakistan, is seeing an
influx of U.S. troops as part of Washington's 21,000 troop expansion.

"The
Afghan-led force was conducting a combat reconnaissance patrol early
this morning, when the convoy came under heavy fire from militants
using small arms and mortar fire," said the statement, released late on
Thursday.

The statement added that
the patrol was being led by the Afghan army, which tends to be
accompanied by U.S. military units tasked with mentoring and supporting
the Afghan soldiers on operations and in battle.

The
incident happened on the same day the U.S. military said American and
Afghan troops killed 29 militants in neighboring Paktika province in a
firefight in Wor Mamay district
