| 2010-12-31 |
| [Tolo News] Taliban beturbanned goons have fired two rockets on US airbase in Bagram on Thursday morning resulting in no casualties, officials said. The incident happened early Thursday when Taliban fired two rockets into the main US Base in Afghanistan, provincial officials said. There were no causalities in the incident, officials added. Nato has confirmed the incident but did not provide further details. Taliban have grabbed credit for the incident. Militants have previously attempted to attack the US main base in Bagram without success in which their own cut-throats have suffered heavy casualties. |

| #2 Attacking a major US base would be one of the dumber things even a battalion sized element could attempt Think of it as a combination of armed probe and public relations. The Taliban can afford it. For them, foot soldiers are cheap. |

| #1 Attacking a major US base would be one of the dumber things even a battalion sized element could attempt. It is not unusual for them to be surrounded by a five mile KZ under intensive surveillance. In western Iraq, some of the bases had a continual stream of stupid coming from Syria, headed for the closest US base. So they probably just parked a backhoe out there. Plug 'em and plant 'em. |
