400 Taliban Militants Attack Nuristan
2011-05-11
[Tolo News] More than 400 Taliban fighters attacked on Afghan police checks posts in eastern Nuristan province on Tuesday, local officials said.

Gen. Shams-ur-Rahman Zahid, police chief of Nuristan province told TOLOnews that more than four hundred Taliban fighters including Paks have attacked on Wama district at 10:00 am local time and festivities still continue.

Three Afghan coppers have been maimed, two hard boyz were killed and five others were hurt in the festivities, he added.
Now that they're well on their way to half of the staff knowing their letters and numbers, is it time to add weekly range time to the training?
Mr Zahid said that they contacted the central government to help them, but the government has not yet deployed more troops to the province.

There are few NATO
...the North Atlantic Treaty Organization. Originally it was a mutual defense pact directed against an expansionist Soviet Union. In later years it evolved into a mechanism for picking the American pocket while criticizing the style of the American pants...
 or Afghan soldiers in mountainous Nuristan, near the Pakistain border.

Taliban fighters have previously attacked on districts in the province and captured some of the districts for some weeks.

Taliban had warned that they would start spring offensives and target government buildings, Afghan police check posts and foreign forces in the country.

#3  In such a target-rich environment they must be pretty good shots just to be able to MISS that often.
