From Jihad UnspunA firefight between the Americans and their allied forces and the Taliban raged for five hours yesterday and resulted in the deaths of seven enemy soldiers, with several others were wounded. The Mujahideen destroyed two military vehicles and three Humvees also in the operation. The Taliban engaged the enemy forces in Lawar as American and Afghan forces were traveling from the Pakistan border to Khost. Taliban Mujahideen ambushed the convoy with rockets and grenades. A firefight broke out and the fighting was describes as severe and 5 vehicles including 2 cars and 3 Humvees were destroyed. Several soldiers were wounded and were transferred to Khost airport. Paktika, Paktia and Zabul have become too hot for the American invaders to handle and all NGOs have stopped their operations due to the war. American forces have halted all but essential travel outside of their bases in these provinces. Ouruzgan has seen a rise in the resurgence of the Taliban, however the power of Taliban in these three provinces remains the strongest. Posted by: Mike Sylwester 2004-06-19 |
