Good News From Afghanistan
[Media Source*]
(Afghan Warrior) At least 10 Taliban insurgents were killed and 13 others were detained in the past three days during a cleanup operation in Paktia province, according to the press release of Defense Ministry. Soldiers of the Afghan National Army {ANA} killed six suspected Taliban rebels and captured 13 others in the troubled southeast Paktia late last week.
With the media attention focusing on Iraq, many Americans forget that we are still waging a war in the Taliban's former homeland. Although there is no "doom and gloom" news to report of within this rugged as well as beautiful nation, Afghanistan is a shining symbol of some of the US successes in the war on terror.
Meanwhile one insurgent was killed by a roadside bomb while he was setting the explosive device in the way of an Afghan and U.S. military convoy south of Kabul. His target was Afghan and U.S military convoy but he was not lucky and he was killed by his own bomb before he harmed the joint convoy.
Taliban fighters are intensifying their attacks against Afghan and US forces in order to derail the upcoming Parliamentary elections which are scheduled to be held on September 18th. Afghan forces (accompanied by American soldiers) have thus far been able to prevent massive terrorist outbreaks that one daily sees in Iraq, and will hopefully be able to continue to root out
