Taliban Attack Barg-e-Matal District in Nooristan
2010-06-21
[Quqnoos] 14 Taliban insurgents were killed and another 5 were arrested in an attack on the Barg-e-Matal district of the eastern Nooristan province

Two Afghan policemen were also wounded in these attacks that were carried out on Saturday evening, said the Chief of Barg-e-Matal, Maulawi Muhammed Ismail.
The Afghan police have been standing up to a lot of attacks lately. I wonder what the Special Forces teams have been doing while everyone's attention is focussed on showier things?
"The opposition forces attacked the district at five in the evening, and fighting continued between our forces and the insurgents for 2 to 3 hours," Mr. Ismail told Quqnoos.

He added that the fight is over now, and the area is under government control.

Barg-e-Matal district came under Taliban control after a week of clashes between Taliban and the Afghan police, about three weeks ago, which was recaptured by the government within three days.
