Taliban Launch Co-ordinated Attacks in Eastern Afghanistan
Taliban faceless myrmidons carried out a series of co-ordinated attacks in a number of districts of Kunar province... which is right down the road from Chitral. Kunar is Haqqani country..... in eastern Afghanistan on Friday night, killing two civilians, local officials said. Two other civilians were maimed. Taliban faceless myrmidons struck at least six districts including Dangam and Marora, targeting governors' offices, and police and army checkpoints, Kunar's governor, Fazullah Wahidi, said. "The attacks were carried out with the support of Mighty Pak Army," Mr Wahidi said. "First the Mighty Pak Army started shelling the province. After that, faceless myrmidons started their attacks." The Taliban grabbed credit for the attacks and said they killed several members of the Afghan cops. Kunar shares a border with Pakistain. Local officials said that more than 1,000 missiles have been fired into the province in the past year. Shelling has increased recently and the Afghan Ministers of Defence and Interior today briefed politicians on the situation. Interior Minister Bismillah Khan Mohammadi told Parliament that "there is no doubt that Pakistain is firing missiles in eastern parts of Afghanistan." Posted by: trailing wife 2012-08-05 |
