ASADABAD (PAN): The Taliban on Thursday attacked a base of NATO-led troops in the Watapur district of eastern Kunar province, an official said.

Four attackers were killed and two others detained as foreign troops acted in self-defence, an ISAF spokesman in the eastern zone, Sabawoon Hotak, told Pajhwok Afghan News.

The firefight lasted several hours. Resident Abdul Jalil confirmed the NATO base had been attacked, but he had no information about casualties.

A Taliban spokesman, Zabihullah Mujahid, said two fighters were killed in the attack, that also inflicted heavy losses on foreign soldiers.
