    KABUL, Afghanistan — Afghan national police, assisted by coalition forces, discovered and destroyed 21 homemade bombs in Oruzgan province July 7-8.

    The Afghan-led force was conducting a combat reconnaissance patrol in the volatile area in order to deny militants the freedom of movement when the patrol received small-arms fire from a wooded area. The combined force returned fire, killing a militant.

    The patrol continued on its route and discovered and destroyed 21 homemade bombs.

    There were no ANP, coalition forces or civilian casualties.
