[Tolo News] In a joint Afghan and Nato forces' operation in eastern Nangarhar province on Friday night 15 snuffies were killed, local official said.| How nice! I wonder how many jihad-drunk fools that makes altogether since we arrived? What d'you suppose Paradise provides, when they've run out of proper perpetual virgins? |
One Taliban capo named Lal Khan was also killed in the operation, he added.
There were no Afghan, Nato forces casualties in the operation, police officials said.
Taliban have not yet commented about the operation.
Mr Paktiawal said the operation continues in other parts of Lal Poor district to wipe out the beturbanned goons.
Lal Poor district is bordered by Pakistain and it's one of insecure districts in the province where snuffies are active.
Militants in the districts have used Improvised Explosive Devices to target Afghan and Nato forces.
Some of Afghan forces' check posts have also been targeted in the past.
Afghan and Nato forces have launched several military operations in the country to clear the insecure areas of turbans.
