Share HELAND, Feb. 14 - A series of the Mujahideen's attacks and bombings killed 13 U.S. soldiers in Marjah, Nad Ali district of Helmand, on later Sunday.

According to the details, three consecutive blasts tore through a group of U.S soldiers who had been hiding for the past three days in a cover in Block Now area of Marjah as they left their hideout to join their troops in desert area, outskirt of Marjah.

Following the blasts, as the survivors began fleeing back to their hiding place the Americans were confronted with an ambush from some Mujahideen ending up killing 13 U.S soldiers as well as 7 wounded, the rest of the survivors managed to flee back to their hideout to take shelter from the Mujahideen's further attacks and bombings.

The report adds the corpses of the Americans are still lying at the site.
It is worth mentioning that the above soldiers are part of the joint troops having been dropped by the helicopters in Marjah three days ago, and have been surrounded by Mujahideen for the last three days, in fact they are running out ammunition and foodstuff as result of which the U.S soldiers have been calling over the loudspeaker to let them go.

Furthermore, the Mujahideen of the Islamic Emirate have laid siege to the U.S soldiers and its allies closing off their all escape routes in Karu Char Rahi, Abdullah Qulf and other areas of Marjah.

Twenty Americans have been killed with their three tanks destroyed since Sunday morning in separate attacks and bombings, according to our report from Helmand province.

Also, today, the Islamic Emirate of Afghanistan marks the 20th anniversary of the defeat of the Red Army which, after an invasion of Afghanistan lasting ten years, finally laid down its arms on 15.2.1989.
