| [Tolo News] Local security officials in southern province of Zabul confirmed Friday that at least 100 bully boyz were killed on the outskirts of the province during a three day joint military operation of Afghan cops. Violence escalated in the southern region recently which also led to closure of the nation's strategic 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.... -Kandahar highway, trapping the passengers at hotels and other residential areas. However, you can observe a lot just by watching... Afghan forces managed on Friday to break the siege and reopen the road to traffic. General Abdurraziq, a powerful military profile in the south and accompanied security forces in the operation against the bully boyz on Friday confirmed that up to 80 bully boyz had been killed so far in the operation. "80 to 100 bully boyz have been killed so far. 20 bully boyz were eliminated today and the operation is still going on. But we managed to reopen the road for traffic," general Raziq said. Meanwhile, ...back at the comedy club, Boogie was cracking himself up, but nobody else seemed to be getting the non-stop jokes... local civilian officials in Zabul province have said that the bully boyz by blocking the key Kabul-Kandahar highway wanted to keep their dominance in these areas for several days in a bid to create issues for government in the south. "Enemy was plotting to target Qalat city (center of Zabul province) including the main highway. But I am proud that our security forces have given them a well-measured response to retreat," deputy governor of Zabul, Massoud Bakhtor said. In addition, head of Zabul provincial council has also expressed satisfaction over the response of security forces against the Lion of Islams. "At the moment we can commute on Zabul-Ghazni border areas, the whole area has been cleared from the presence of the snuffies and enemy is on the run," head of Zabul provincial council Atta Jan Haqbayan said. Passengers who regularly commute on Kabul-Kandahar highway have also expressed joy over the reopening of Kabul Kandahar highway. "We were trapped at hotels, Kandahar police chief helped at removing the threats and road is opened, he also provided us with food," a passenger said. "I am so happy to see that the road is reopened," another passenger said. Insurgents retreated from Kabul-Kandahar highway at a time that currently the Afghan cops are conducting counterinsurgency operaitons in at least 20 provinces of the country in an effort to clear these provinces form the snuffies and establish law and order. |

| #2 True. The Taliban and their Pak minders pulled off both an internal morale-building and external propaganda operation, and re-arranged the chairs for any possible negotiations. |

| #1 Bold effort but really little to celebrate. The Taliban survivors have fled back across the border and will simply reappear elsewhere. |
