[Tolo News] Afghan and Pakistaini Taliban have burnt down 150 houses in Barg-e-Matal district of the eastern Nuristan province, local officials say. The Afghan forces beat feet to "avoid civilian casualties" so I guess the puppies, kittens, and baby ducks weren't in the houses when they were torched?
These houses were put on fire during the 24 hours of Taliban control over the district, the governor of Nuristan told TOLOnews.
... and if you can't believe the governor of Nuristan who can you believe?
Around 4000 families have been displaced in the province due to clashes between the Taliban and Afghan forces in the past one month, he added.
Were they incinerated in their houses? Or did they go to Helmand, where they all huddled together in a single house that was blown up by ferocious NATO Ostrogoths?
Barg-e-Matal district has daily been attacked by the Taliban in the past week. Provincial officials have reported no casualties resulting from the clashes.
So lemme get this straight: the Afghan forces were chased out by 700 Afghan and Pak Talibs, who then beat everybody up and burned their houses down, then the Mighty Afghan whatever they were returned and killed all the bad guys but there weren't any casualties resulting from the clashes?
Barg-e-Matal district came under Taliban control for 24 hours when a group of 700 Afghan and Pakistaini Taliban captured the district after fierce clashes on Saturday night.
Seems ever'body was kung-fu fighting...
An' it wuz a little bit fright'ning...
