| Afghan Taliban Claims It Poisoned Food At Foreign Forces Base |
| 2012-02-27 |
| The Taliban has claimed that one of its militants has infiltrated an international military base in eastern Afghanistan and poisoned food and drink being served at the facility. A spokesman for the NATO-led International Security Assistance Force, Sergeant Nicholas Conner, is quoted as saying that an investigation was launched after laboratory tests discovered traces of bleach in food at a NATO base in Nangarhar Province. The spokesman dismissed claims by the Taliban that five U.S. soldiers had been killed in the alleged poisoning. The incident was reported after days of sometimes deadly anti-U.S. protests in Afghanistan over the burning of Korans at a NATO military base near Kabul. |
