According to Afghan officials, more than 70 Talibs were killed in two air raids that struck Afghanistan's eastern and southeastern provinces of Nangarhar The unfortunate Afghan province located adjacent to Mohmand, Kurram, and Khyber Agencies. The capital is Jalalabad. The province was the fief of Younus Khalis after the Soviets departed and one of his sons is the current provincial Taliban commander. Nangarhar is Haqqani country.. and Pashtun-infested Logar late on Friday. Meanwhile, ...back at the palazzo, Count Guido stepped from behind the suit of armor, rapier in hand. Ciccolini snarled and reached for his own weapon... local police forces said four other Talibs also died in an American drone attack that hit the war-ravaged country's northeastern province of Kunar. The Taliban Death Eater group has not commented on the reports yet. Earlier on Saturday, Afghan officials said a similar US-led drone attack had left three Talibs dead in Afghanistan's eastern province of Khost ...which coincidentally borders North Wazoo and Kurram Agency... .

Washington claims the targets of the drone attacks are Death Eaters, but local officials and witnesses maintain that civilians have been the main victims of such raids over the past few years. The United Nations ...an idea whose time has gone... and several human rights ...which often include carefully measured allowances of freedomat the convenience of the state... organizations have identified the US as the world's number one user of "assassinations," largely due to its drone strikes in Pakistain and Afghanistan. |
