| 2014-06-24 |
| [Tolo News] Officials reported that at least 17 Taliban murderous Moslems, 13 coppers and nine civilians have bit the dust amid heavy festivities between bully boyz and the Afghan cops in southern Helmand ...an Afghan province populated mostly by Pashtuns, adjacent to Injun country in Pak Balochistan... province over the past three days. An additional five Afghan National Army (ANA) soldiers and five coppers have suffered injuries. The festivities began in Sangin and Nawzad districts of the province after hundreds of Taliban snuffies stormed police outposts, Helmand Governor Mohammad Naeem said on Monday. Four outposts fell into bad boy hands in Sangin district. Governor Naeem said the non-combatants were killed by related Taliban missile attacks. The festivities are reportedly still ongoing and reinforcements have been deployed to assist the security forces already in the area. Meanwhile, ...back at the pond, the radioactive tadpoles grown into frogs. Really big frogs, in fact... Helmand Police Chief Abdul Qayoum Baqizoy claimed that nearly 800 Taliban snuffies stormed the outposts in Sangin district. "We have informed the Interior Ministry and Defence Ministry to seek support," Baqizoy said. "If they don't send support teams, the Taliban will take control of Sangin district." More than 300 families are said to have fled Sangin over the past couple days because of the escalating violence. Self-identified Taliban front man, Qari Yousuf Ahmadi, confirmed the flare-up, but claimed more than 12 outposts have been destroyed in Sangin. Helmand is known to be a hotbed of bad boy activity and has long been the focus of NATO ...the North Atlantic Treaty Organization. A collection of multinational and multilingual and multicultural armed forces, all of differing capabilities, working toward a common goal by pulling in different directions... coalition attention. Over the past few years it has been the primary base of operations for British troops stationed in Afghanistan. However, alcohol has never solved anybody's problems. But then, neither has milk... in preparation for the coalition's withdraw by the end of this year, Afghan cops have taken on increased responsibility throughout Helmand as well as other restive provinces around the country. |
