| Taliban Announce 'Spring Offensive' across Afghanistan |
| 2012-05-03 |
| [An Nahar] The Taliban militia announced their "spring offensive" would begin across Afghanistan on Thursday. Code-named al-Farouq, the primary targets of the offensive would be "foreign invaders, their advisors, their contractors, all those who help them militarily and in intelligence", the cut-throats said on their website. "Al-Farouq spring offensive will be launched on May 3 all over Afghanistan," the hard boy group said. The militia said the code name came from Islam's second caliph, Omar al-Farouq known for his military advances in Asia and the Arab world during the 7th century. |

| #2 Their last 'Spring Offensive' ended with so many drone zaps on their commanders, that the summer was pretty quiet. Their communications security is not terribly developed, especially when they are trying to coordinate actions in widely separated areas. |

| #1 May 3rd wasn't all that exciting, but perhaps they'll find some success another day. |
