Afghanistan
Nearly 100 Taliban insurgents killed, wounded in Khanshin district of Helmand
2016-03-29
[Khaama (Afghanistan)] Nearly 100 Talibs were killed or maimed during the operations in Khanshin district of southern Helmand
...an Afghan province populated mostly by Pashtuns, adjacent to Injun country in Pak Balochistan...
province which was retaken by the Afghan forces yesterday.

The Ministry of Defense (MoD) said at least 60 Taliban Death Eaters were killed and 30 others were maimed during the operations conducted jointly by the Afghan forces.

The control of Khanshin district fell to Talibs nearly two weeks ago following a coordinated attack involving scores of holy warriors.

However,
the difference between stupidity and genius is that genius has its limits...
the security officials announced Sunday that the Afghan forces managed to clear the district from the forces of Evil presence as a result of the operations.

Helmand is among the volatile provinces in southern Afghanistan where anti-government armed holy warrior groups are actively operating in its various districts and frequently carry out insurgency activities.

Meanwhile,
...back at the dirigible, Jack stuck the cigar in his mouth, stepped onto the gantry, and asked Got a light, Mac?

Von Schtinken stopped short, lowering the dagger and trying to control his features.

If you light that thing, Herr Armschtröng, he pointed out, his voice tense, we all die!...

a statement by MoD said at least 29 forces of Evil were killed in a separate operation in Shindand district of Herat
...a venerable old Persian-speaking city in western Afghanistan, populated mostly by Tadjiks, which is why it's not as blood-soaked as areas controlled by Pashtuns...
while 17 others including 2 commanders of the group were killed in Ghazni and Nuristan provinces.

MoD further added that 7 soldiers serving with the Afghan National Army (ANA) forces also bit the dust during the same operations.
