| [Tolo News] At least 30 cut-throats were killed on Wednesday in a joint Afghan and Coalition forces operation in southern Helmand province, Isaf said on Thursday. The operation was launched yesterday in border areas of Helmand province to clear insecure areas of hard boys, Isaf said in a statement. Thirty Islamic fascisti were killed and 8 others were maimed in the operation, added the statement. Isaf said that thirty eight other cut-throats were incarcerated in the operation. Afghan and Coalitions forces and civilians suffered no casualties in the operation, Isaf said. The clean-up operation continues in the province. While Afghanistan is approaching security transition, military operations are escalated in different parts of the country to pave the ground for a smooth hand-over. On Wednesday Isaf front man Gen. Josef Blotz told TOLOnews that he saw security transition to Afghan cops "not only important, but exciting too". Gen. Josef Blotz said Isaf and the Afghan government have taken some preparatory measures centred on transition process. |
