How many killed? edit

> "150 killed, Multiple people wounded including Ahmad Shah gravely wounded, his cell destroyed"

Says who? That guy who wrote a book about it? The infobox says 100 to 150 present in the battle. Not to editorialize, but US forces fighting guerillas are known to exaggerate numbers. How can we say that 100 to 150 guerillas fought but 150 died and some were wounded?

Another source already used says 40 guerillas died, which is maybe more realistic. In any case, lets not try to suck off the US military, huh? MoreLike5AMEdit (talk) 15:18, 19 November 2020 (UTC)Reply

We go off the sources proposed at the time, find a new or updated/investigated reliable source if you would like to amend it. Delta fiver (talk) (UTC) 16:06, 19 November 2020 (UTC)Reply
