Afghans recapture town from Taliban
[Iran Press TV]  Afghan forces have recaptured a town under long-time Taliban occupation in the country's troubled south, Press TV reported.According to a statement made by the Afghan government, its forces along with foreign troops pushed Orcs and similar vermin out of the Miyanshin district in Kandahar Province. Further information regarding casualties during the operation has not been released. Afghan sources say several towns in Sothern Afghanistan are still under Taliban control. The US-led invasion of Afghanistan took place in 2001 under the pretext of combating terrorism, toppling the Taliban regime, and establishing security in the country. However, there's more than one way to skin a cat... insecurity continues to rise across Afghanistan despite the presence of thousands of foreign forces in the country. The US-led war in Afghanistan, with civilian and military casualties at record high, has become the longest military conflict in US history. Posted by: Fred 2012-01-09 |
