20 Taliban killed in U.S. airstrike, clashes with security forces in Logar
2015-10-21
[Khaama (Afghanistan)] 20 Talibs were killed in a U.S. Arclight airstrike and raids of Afghan forces in Kharwar District of central Pashtun-infested Logar province, south of Kabul
...the capital of Afghanistan. Home to continuous fighting from 1992 to 1996 between the forces of would-be strongman and Pak ISI/Jamaat-e-Islami sock puppet Gulbuddin Hekmayar and the Northern Alliance, a period which won Hek the title Most Evil Man in the World and didn't do much for the reputations of the Northern Alliance guys either....
, last night.

Police Chief of Kharwar District says that several villages have been cleared of the faceless myrmidons as the result of the military operation by Afghan forces backed by Arclight airstrikes.

A large number of weapons and ammunition was also seized by security forces during the operation, Brigadier General Dawoud Ahmadi said.

This comes as Taliban have ramped up their deadly campaign across the country.

A suicide boom-mobile kaboom for which Taliban were blamed left 14 civilians maimed, some of them critical, in the capital of this province last month.

The Vehicle-borne Improvised Explosive Device (VBIED) exploded when Pul-e-Alam City was crowded with people.
