Zadran Retreats From Government Onslaught
Source: Kyodo NewsRebel Afghan warlord Basha Khan Zadran has lost the Nadir Shah Kot stronghold 30 kilometers from the capital of Paktia Province in eastern Afghanistan to troops loyal to the government in Kabul, Afghan Islamic Press (AIP) reported Friday. It quoted Zadran as saying the retreat was "strategic" and decided because of over-flights by U.S. aircraft. That jihad stuff ain't as easy as it looks, is it, Bacha?
