Two policemen were among those killed in the fight in Baghlan province.

Local officials claim that the security forces have wiped out militants from several districts.

This is while the Taliban claim to be gaining influence in the region. A Taliban spokesman has said their members have seized several weapon caches belonging to foreign troops during recent fights.

Violence and security incidents have been increasing in the provinces of Baghlan and Konduz over the past months.

There are currently over 120,000 foreign troops in Afghanistan, and the US and its NATO allies have announced the imminent deployment of 30,000 more troops.

However, pundits predict the troop surge will only lead to a surge in violence while peace remains a seemingly unattainable dream for the people of Afghanistan.
