Taliban Insurgents Attack Military Posts On Busy Highway
2015-05-10
[Tolo News] A large number of Taliban Death Eaters attacked military posts on the 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...
-Kandahar highway in western Farah province early Saturday, local officials said.

The attack took place at about 05:00am after Taliban Death Eaters attacked the military posts. The clash ended when more troops were sent in along with helicopter support, Taj Mohammad Jahid, the commander of the 207th Corps of the Afghan National Army (ANA) in western Afghanistan said.

"Fighting ended about 10:00 am and the Death Eaters fled the area. There were no Afghan military casualties in the attack," he said.

However,
if you can't be a good example, then you'll just have to be a horrible warning...
there was no information about Death Eater casualty figures.

Meanwhile,
...back at the Hubba Hubba Club, Nunzio had his hands full of angry bleached blonde...
an eyewitness said that the Herat and Kandahar highway had been closed due to the attack, but military officials said the highway has been reopened.

"The military forces are checking the area to ensure Death Eaters have not placed any roadside mines," Jahid said.

The Taliban have not yet commented on the attack.

The Death Eaters recently increased their attacks in the province and frequently target the Afghan cops.
