Huge news! When you kill 15 Taliban in a series of airstrikes in one location, you are having one helluva day, in my estimation. This from a China View report here:
Sweet, huh? Paktika province hasn't exactly been in the limelight lately as it falls further east than the real hotspot, Helmand province so it is good to see that NATO and U.S. forces aren't forgetting about Taliban spread out around Afghanistan.
Air raids carried out by international troops on Taliban militants in Afghanistan's eastern Paktika province have left over a dozen suspected insurgents dead, spokesman of provincial administration said Saturday.
"The NATO-led International Security Assistance Force (ISAF) in efforts to eliminate insurgents carried out air raids on their hideout in Charbaran district yesterday evening (Friday evening) ,killing 15 armed enemies," Ghani Khan Mohammad Yar told Xinhua.
