![]() ...the North Atlantic Treaty Organization. A collection of multinational and multilingual and multicultural armed forces, all of differing capabilities, working toward a common goal by pulling in different directions... forces captured a local Haqqani network leader in a joint operation in southeastern Khost province ... across the border from Miranshah, within commuting distance of Haqqani hangouts such as Datta Khel and probably within sight of Mordor. Khost is populated by six different tribes of Pashtuns, the largest probably being the Khostwal, from which it takes its name... on Tuesday, Isaf said. "A Haqqani network leader was captured by a combined Afghan and coalition security force during an operation in Sabari district, Khost province, today," the Isaf statement said. The Haqqani leader distributed roadside kabooms and planned attacks against Afghan forces, the statement added. Afghan and NATO forces are targetting the Haqqani network whose faceless myrmidons operate along the Afghan-Pakistain border; the forces have had considerable success capturing or killing these Death Eaters. | |
