发帖数: 901 | 1 KABUL, Afghanistan – Airstrikes and ground operations by NATO and Afghan
troops killed dozens of insurgents, including a senior Taliban leader who
spearheaded attacks against security forces, the alliance said Thursday as
the war in Afghanistan entered its 10th year.
Sixteen militants were killed in air raids and ground fighting overnight in
the Darqad, Yangi Qala and Khwaja Bahawuddin districts of Takhar province,
Gen. Shah Jahan Noori, provincial police chief, told The Associated Press.
More than a dozen insurgents were wounded.
Northern Takhar has been the scene of escalating military operations in
recent days, as NATO and Afghan forces step up the battle for control of the
Taliban-dominated south.
Noori said his convoy was ambushed early Thursday and four attackers were
killed in a gunbattle that lasted several hours. No joint force casualties
occurred, he said.
Taliban commander Maulawi Jawadullah — accused of organizing deadly
ambushes, roadside bombings, and abductions of Afghan police and soldiers in
northern Afghanistan — was killed in an airstrike Wednesday in Yangi Qala
district, NATO said.
Jawadullah was linked to the recent deaths of 10 Afghan National Police
officers during an attack on a police station in neighboring Kunduz province
, an alliance statement said. Seven other Taliban also died in the assault,
including three who opened fire from a forest when coalition forces moved in
following the airstrike.
Thursday was the ninth anniversary of the American invasion of Afghanistan,
a frustrating benchmark for those who expected a quick exit after small
targeted special forces toppled the Taliban from power in 2001 | y***l
