Afghan Forces Launch Special Operation in North
2011-01-12
[Tolo News] A special operation was launched by Afghan cops in northern Faryab province to strengthen government's control over the province, officials said on Tuesday.
Happy hunting, guys. Be honourable and effective, and change the horrible image the Afghan police force currently has.
Provincial security officials said so far police forces have found four military vehicles that were seized by the Taliban and still efforts are underway to clear the area of bad boys.

The vehicles were seized by the Taliban during presidential campaign, officials said.

Intelligence officials in the north have found the operation effective to clear some parts of Ghormach of bad boys. Ghormach is a restive district in Faryab province.

Officials said the main aim of the operation is to prepare the ground for reconstruction of ring roads in the province.

"In the operation, four Ranger cars, belonging to both police and army, have been retaken by our forces. The Taliban took the vehicles a year ago," Safiullah Sadeq, Intelligence Chief of Zone 303, told TOLOnews.
No doubt an oil change, tire rotation, and serious cleaning are needed, then.
Ghormach district has been the scene of fearing violence in the past.

Afghan cops have recently boosted military operations in some parts of the country to increase pressure on the Taliban and make them leave Afghanistan.
