  KABUL, Afghanistan (Sept. 24)   Afghan Local Police recruits under close supervision of Afghan Local Police and coalition forces killed a number of enemy insurgents in Shaghowlay village, Qara Bagh district Saturday.
  The ALP recruits and coalition forces received small arms and machine gun fire while conducting a routine patrol through the village. After repelling the attack, the ALP held a shura (meeting) with a local religious leader who indicated the Taliban insurgents had been using a mosque as a staging and collection point for attacks.
  Upon inspection, the ALP found two rocket propelled grenades and a motorcycle staged in the vicinity of the mosque.
  An additional search of the area found two AK-47s, a PKM machine gun, two grenades and loose ammunition. All evidence was collected and turned over to the Afghan authorities.
  There were no civilian causalities during the engagement.
