Pentagon admits Taliban's military successes
The Pentagon has admitted the Taliban's military successes and warned that
the Taliban has regrouped the forces of Mujahideen in Afghanistan. The new
re****t by the US Department of Defense says that the Taliban have
"coalesced
into a resilient insurgency" 7 years after their initial fall from power
when they left Kabul.
BBC re****ted: "Noting that insurgent violence has climbed, the re****t said
that despite U.S. and coalition efforts to capture and kill key leaders,
the
Taliban is likely to "maintain or even increase the scope and pace of its
terrorist attacks and bombings in 2008.""
Earlier this week the US command re****ted, "Insurgent attacks in eastern
Afghanistan have increased 40 percent this year over last year".
At the same time the occupation command noted that the Taliban target not
only puppet formations and the occupation force, but they also aim at
"undermining the country's economic development".
Taliban attacks in Kabul on April 27, when a military parade was defeated
and when Karzai narrowly escaped death, were especially painful for the
puppet regime and the Western occupiers.
Plus a successful special operation on liberation of hundreds of captives
from the Kandahar concentration camp and establi****ng control over the
outskirts of Afghanistan's second largest city.
Even though NATO and Karzai's regime announced that the Taliban was forced
out of several villages around Kandahar, Afghan Mujahideen still maintain
control over vast territories north of the city. At the same time Karzai's
claim that hundreds of Taliban fighters were allegedly killed in the
battles
were denied by the NATO command.
