| 2015-09-20 |
| [Tolo News] Critics blasted government on Friday over what they claim to be their failure to destroy a major Taliban base in Pashtun-infested Logar province, which was reportedly active for nine years. Afghan forces on Thursday managed to take control of the base and destroy it -- a base believed to also have had underground bunkers. It is said that the camp which was located in Zarghon Shahr village in Mohammad Agha district in Pashtun-infested Logar, was used to train snuffies -- who were then sent from there to carry out subversive activities in Pashtun-infested Logar, Kabul ...the capital of Afghanistan. Home to continuous fighting from 1992 to 1996 between the forces of would-be strongman and Pak ISI/Jamaat-e-Islami sock puppet Gulbuddin Hekmayar and the Northern Alliance, a period which won Hek the title Most Evil Man in the Worldand didn't do much for the reputations of the Northern Alliance guys either.... and other parts of the country. The base is said to have been one of the major Taliban bases in the province. But on Friday critics blasted government. Former Pashtun-infested Logar governor Niaz Mohammad Amiri said: "The base may have been in an area which was difficult to track or intelligence reports didn't reach us to discover it, however we destroyed many bases." "I am confident that former officials of Pashtun-infested Logar province are responsible for this. Those responsible and who were negligent must be dealt with according to the law by the national unity government," head of Pashtun-infested Logar provincial council Haseeb Stanikzai said. But deputy presidential front man Sayed Zafar Hashemi said that efforts are being made to eliminate such facilities. "As it was pledged by the president, a special Afghan Defense Operations Coordination Center was formed, wherever there is a threat in any region of Afghanistan against our people and security forces, the center gives direction to launch operations to prevent the threat." According to analysts, the existence of the Taliban base in Pashtun-infested Logar indicates that bully boyz exist outside Kabul and that they can pose threats to the capital city at any time. |

| #1 Probably took at least a year for the IS to 'scrub' the base. |
