[ToloNews] The Taliban
 ...mindless ferocity in a turban...
on Tuesday night launched an assault on Spin Boldak district in the southern province of Kandahar and captured the Spin Boldak crossing along the Durand Line, local sources in the province said on Thursday. The Durand Line serves as a de facto border with Pakistain.
Sources stated that fierce battles were also reported in the PD6, PD7 and PD8 areas of Kandahar city including Kandahar’s Arghandab province. Reports say that at least 11 non-combatants were killed and 41 others were maimed as a result of the fighting.
All victims were transferred to Mirwais Hospital in Kandahar city.
20 out of 34 provinces saw fighting in the past 24 hours. The Taliban also launched attacks on Ghazni city and Lashkargah city in the center of Helmand
...an Afghan province populated mostly by Pashtuns, adjacent to Injun country in Pak Balochistan...
province in southern Afghanistan.
"There is heavy fighting in Spin Boldak, only a few parts of the district remain, all checkpoints have collapsed," said Qudratullah, a resident in Spin Boldak.
"Kandahar city has faced lots of damage due to security issues, many people were displaced from their homes," said Niaz Mohammad, a resident in Kandahar.
There are also reports that a girls school was torched in the Haidar Abad area of Ghazni city. The Taliban has rejected involvement.
"We witnessed the torching of the school in Haidar Abad which is only 3 kilometers away from the governor’s office, this situation is not bearable to the people of Ghazni," said Naseer Faqiri, the head of Ghazni's provincial council.
In Baghlan province local people have taken arms in support of Afghan cops to fight the Taliban.
Fighting was also reported in Kunduz province.
"Fighting was going on in the road leading to Imam Sahib district and in the outskirts of Kunduz city," said Mohammad Yousuf Ayoubi, the head of the Kunduz provincial council.
Meanwhile,
...back at the Council of Boskone, Helmuth had turned a paler shade of blue. Star-A-Star had struck again...
the Afghan security agencies said that soon the security situation in the country will change. They also said that the Afghan cops have been inflicting major casualties on the Taliban on the battlefield.
"1369 (Taliban) fighters were killed during recent operations including their key commanders and intelligence officials," said Ajmal Omar Shinwari, a front man to ANDSF.
That sounds like someone is working up to piles of skulls. The Taliban also claimed to have downed an Afghan Air Force plane in Kunduz province. But the Afghan government has denied the claims.
Afghan Police Officer Fights Taliban Alone for 18 Hours
[ToloNews] An Afghan police officer, Ahmad Shah, fought the Taliban
 ...the Pashtun equivalent of men...
alone for 18 hours in the southern province of Kandahar and said that the Taliban are undertaking a massive propaganda campaign about the military offensives to demoralize the Afghan cops.
| We discussed this here yesterday. |
Ahmad Shah and 14 other coppers were deployed at a checkpoint in the suburbs of Kandahar city when the Taliban attacked them. Ahmad Shah, who was maimed, did not surrender and resisted the Taliban for 18 hours.
Ahmad Shah was rescued after reinforcements were sent to the area. He is now in stable, pH balanced condition.
"I did not surrender, I did not lay down my arms and I fought back," said Ahmad Shah.
Ahmad Shah says that war needs determination and firmness for victory to be achieved.
"The enemy is very weak. They want to frighten us through their propaganda. I learned that no one should fear the enemy in real life," added Ahmad Shah.
"Afghanistan is a sovereign country, it has an independent army and a sovereign system, it has a Constitution, we are the guardians of the Islamic Theocratic Republic of Afghanistan," said Fazel Mohammad Daudzai, a member of the Afghan Special Forces
...established in 2007 with the intent of taking one conventional infantry kandak (battalion) from each of the regional ANA corps, giving them special training and equipment, and reorganizing based on the U.S. Army Rangers. Each battalion is assigned to one of the six regional corps. The commandos comprise 7% of the Afghan National Security Forces but conduct 70% to 80% of the fighting...
The Taliban launched their onslaught on Kandahar city two weeks ago.
The Afghan National Security and Defense Forces (ANDSF) launched a series of anti-Taliban operations in response.
