| [Tolo News] A number of Taliban jacket wallahs targeted the US-Afghan base in Zherai district of southern Kandahar province on Monday afternoon, local officials said. There were no reports about US and Afghan forces casualties. Seven bombers were wearing ISAF forces uniforms and were killed by US forces, officials said. Two civilians and a NATO ...the North Atlantic Treaty Organization. It's headquartered in Belgium. That sez it all.... soldier were also killed in the attack. The incident took place when a suicide bomber drove an car bomb into the base and the other bombers entered the gate, said Jawid Faisal, a Provincial Governor Spokesman. "The bombers clashed with forces for more than an hour and six of them were killed by foreign troops. One NATO soldier was also killed in the attack," he said. Earlier reports were suggesting that there was a female suicide bomber among the nine bully boys, but officilas now said that it was "a girl with her father -- both civilians -- who were killed in the crossfire." It's confirmed that it was seven snuffies involved in the attack. ISAF confirmed the attack, but did not provide more details. However, a person who gets all wrapped up in himself makes a mighty small package... other local officials have said that the base is under control right now and the forces have launched a clearing operation. The Taliban grabbed credit for the attack. |
