Taliban Insurgents Attack Afghanistan NATO Base
Read Time:29 Second
Taliban insurgents attacked a NATO base in Afghanistan this morning in a commando-style raid that caused no allied casualties. Gunmen set off a car bomb and fired rocket-propelled grenades, attacking NATO facilities at an airport near the Pakistani border from multiple directions; several suicide bombers were killed in the attack. The raid shows the increasing sophistication of Taliban attacks and comes only a day after Gen. David Petraeus warned of an intensified “industrial strength insurgency” in Afghanistan in the coming months, BBC reports.

I sincerely hope that nobody is surprised?
Incidentally, what the hell does Taliban mean? No idea myself.
Time to get out.
As long as they don’t burn this year’s opium crop.
That would be devastating!
