| Militant attack on Afghan army base kills 10 soldiers |
| 2017-05-24 |
| [DAWN] At least 10 Afghan soldiers were killed when snuffies attacked their army base in the southern province of Kandahar, the defence ministry said Tuesday, in the latest attack on Western-backed forces. The assault in Shah Wali Kot district late Monday came just a day after 20 Afghan coppers were killed when Taliban ...the Pashtun equivalent of men... fighters stormed their outposts in the neighbouring province of Zabul. No group has so far grabbed credit for the Kandahar attack, but it comes as Taliban murderous Moslems intensify their annual spring offensive and their strength is growing, more than 15 years after they were toppled from power in a US-led invasion. "Last night the enemies of Afghanistan attacked Achakzai camp of army corps 205 in Shah Wali Kot district," the defence ministry said in a statement, without identifying the attackers. |
