 [Khaama (Afghanistan)] At least 28 Talibs were killed and 30 others were maimed as the Afghan cops repulsed a major offensive by the Taliban group in eastern Kunar province... which is right down the road from Chitral. Kunar is Haqqani country..... According to the local officials, scores of Taliban murderous Moslems launched the attack in the early hours of Saturday to take control of security posts in Ghaziabad district. The provincial governor Wahidullah Kalimzai however said the attack was launched late on Friday night and continued for several hours. He said a member of the Afghan National Army lost his life and three others were maimed in the attack. The Taliban group front man Zabiullah Mujahid has claimed that two Talibs were killed and five others were maimed during the shootout with the Afghan forces. Mujahid also claimed that eleven soldiers of the Afghan National Army were killed and several others were maimed during the clash. Kunar is among the volatile provinces in eastern Afghanistan where anti-government armed forces of Evil are actively operating in its various districts. The province is also home of various foreign murderous Moslems as they are routinely crossing the Durand Line from the tribal regions of Pakistain to stage attacks. The coordinated attack on security posts in Kunar comes as the Taliban group announced its summer offensive earlier last month and vowed to carry out more attacks across the country.
