NATO's International Security Assistance Force said a group of about 60 insurgents attempted to attack Afghan and ISAF forces Friday in the Bermel district of Paktika province, near the Pakistan border. The insurgents fired on aircraft, and NATO and US-led coalition forces returned fire, killing about 60 insurgents, an ISAF statement said.
