| [Tolo News] Clashes between the Taliban, including foreign hard boys, and the Afghan National Security Forces (ANSF) have intensified in the district of Sangeen in Helmand ...an Afghan province populated mostly by Pashtuns, adjacent to Injun country in Pak Balochistan... on Tuesday, according to the Helmand governor. "There is an intense ongoing battle between the ANSF and Taliban fighters," Helmand Governor Mohammad Naeem said. "The security forces have pushed Taliban back by causing heavy casualties." In the past two months, residents of Sangeen have witnessed extreme battles between the ANSF and the Taliban. The first attack took place in late June when hundreds of Taliban fighters attacked Sangeen causing a lasting battle for days. After a few weeks of relative peace, the Taliban have attacked the district once again. Meanwhile, ...back at the palazzo, Don Smilzo looked for an avenue of escape. The only window opened a hundred feet above the moat. The nearest of the hired assassins hold a bloody axe. The window was looking better all the time.... the National Directorate of Security ...the Afghan national intel agency... (NDS) has confirmed the recent insecurities, stressing, however, that the ANSF has the situation under control. "Insecurity has not ended in the province of Helmand yet," NDS front man Abdul Haseeb Sediqi said. "But the security forces are prepared to counter the threats from hard boyz and illegal gangs." Taliban's last attack on Sangeen was one the bloodiest and longest hard boy attacks in the past couple of years. The attack is said to have to been coordinated by Pak military experts and according to local officials foreign factions are involved in the recent attack on the district. |
