sourceInvestigations are continuing after a Nimrod plane crashed, killing 14 UK military personnel. The plane was lost during an ongoing offensive in southern Afghanistan.
Taleban guerrillas hanged a man from a tree in southern Afghanistan over the weekend, accusing him of spying for Nato.
At the same time, Nato said it had killed 200 Taleban fighters in Operation Medusa, an offensive which has been taking place since Saturday.
These two pieces of news encapsulate the problem for Nato in Afghanistan. Well-equipped conventional forces will always beat insurgents in a straight fight - but a straight fight is not always what's on offer from the Taleban.
