Afghanistan - U.S.-backed Afghan Army To Strike Taliban This Winter

RTT News reports.

(RTTNews) - A U.S. general said on Sunday that the U.S.-backed Afghan army will step up counter-Taliban offensives this winter, which could see heavy fighting during a period traditionally used by Afghan fighters for rest and resupply.

The U.S.-led effort to train the Afghan military overseen by U.S. Army Brig. General Douglas Pritt said, "Afghan forces have tripled the number of forward bases to more than 60 and plan to spend the winter harassing Taliban and gathering intelligence from combat outposts deep inside rebel strongholds."


When we start attacking the Taleban this winter, watch for the BBC to spin the reports and make it appear the Taleban are back, bigger and bolder.
