| 2018-12-08 |
| [Ynet] The Taliban ...Arabic for students... staged a coordinated attack overnight on two Afghan army outposts in western Herat ...a venerable old Persian-speaking city in western Afghanistan, populated mostly by Tadjiks, which is why it's not as blood-soaked as areas controlled by Pashtuns... province, killing 14 Afghan soldiers and taking another 21 captive, a provincial official said Friday, the latest in a series of daily attacks by turbans on the country's beleaguered national security forces. Herat provincial council member Najibullah Mohebi said the assault began late on Thursday in Shindand district. Fighting lasted for six hours before reinforcements arrived and repulsed the Death Eaters, but not before they captured 21 troops. |
