"Authorities in Afghanistan say security forces have killed more than 120 fighters of the Islamic State terror group, including senior commanders, and captured a key base for the militants in far eastern Nangahar province, bordering Pakistan. Security forces also arrested more than two dozen militants of the group during the operations, Attaullah Khogyani, a provincial government spokesman, told VOA. It is not possible to verify the official's claims. Footage on Afghan television channels and pictures released to media showed a training center and court building officials said the fighters for "Daesh," the Arabic acronym for IS, used for staging attacks in nearby areas and dispensing its brand of Islamic justice…" link From here

Daesh in two bombings in Kabul a few days ago killed 80 + 230 injured. I hope the ANA/ANP were looking for payback … |

Claims versus reality are probably very different things, especially in that region of the world. Baghdad Bob claimed no Americans were anywhere near his city and the airport. Next thing you know, they're being over-run, and the US even has troops on the moon, according to him. LOL…….. |

Like their military and security forces. The Afghani civilian leadership is not generally to be trusted on many occasions. |

Let's see, there are an estimated 35,000 Taliban now, up from a few thousand only a few years ago. The Russians claim upwards of 10,000 ISIS fighters now in Afghanistan (probably at least several thousand). Not to mention the unknown thousands of fighters belonging to regional warlords and not answerable to the Kabul government. Trumpeting 120 enemy casualties is far too few and done far too early in this war as any sign of victory. |

I'm not sure what would be a sign of victory in Afghanistan ? As if/when the West leaves them to their own devices. They will continue to fight along tribal, religious, ethnic, warlord, cleric affiliations, etc., … Kabul seems to have little influence on anything … |
