Afghan Forces Thwart Taliban's Summer Offensive: Security Officials
2015-10-24
[ToloNews] After launching this year's so-called summer offensive, the Taliban reportedly intended to siege strategic locations and gain more territory across the nation, but Afghan National Security Forces (ANSF) managed to hold their own and drive back the myrmidon group, said Afghan chief of army staff Gen. Qadam Shah Shaheem on Thursday.

According to Shaheem, this military campaign by Afghan National Army (ANA) is still ongoing in several provinces across the country, where forces are committed to eliminating bully boyz and restoring security.

"The conspiracy of the enemies of the people of Afghanistan were thwarted. The Afghan forces disappointed certain elements associated with intelligence services along with other terrorist groups including some anti-Islam and anti-human circles," Shaheem said.

Insurgents have lost the ability to confront Afghan forces face to face on the battlefield and to take control of territories. Security forces are now on the offensive and will suppress them whenever they try to attack, he said.
