Taliban militants launched three attacks in southeastern Afghanistan that left nine government soldiers and 10 Taliban dead, officials said. An American soldier was wounded.

The rebels have mounted a stubborn insurgency across southern and eastern Afghanistan since U.S. forces ousted the Taliban government in late 2001 for harboring Osama bin Laden and his supporters.
