Taliban Claim Responsibility For NATO Attack
The Taliban have claimed responsibility for Tuesday's attack on NATO forces and warned that as long as foreign troops are in the country, they will encounter similiar attacks. Taliban spokesman Latif Hakimi admitted responsibility for the martyrdom operation in Kabul that killed one Canadian soldier and wounded three other Canadian soldiers to reporters. The head of police in the western district of Kabul where the blast occurred, said the Canadians were part of a three-vehicle patrol when they were attacked. A witness, Hussein Agha, said body parts were strewn on the road after the attack, which happened about 8:30 a.m. local time Tuesday. ``There were three vehicles, two of them had passed by and the bomber targeted the last one,'' Agha said of the bomber.

A large operation to arrest Taliban “remnants” is being conducted in Khost again. Afghan national army has established check posts all around the province and every one is being subjected to a search. Local residents are fearful that another useless operation will result in coalition forces arresting innocent people and accusing them of being Taliban because the Taliban simply do not stay around any area too long to be captured and the coalition forces just vent their frustration at the local public. No word on number of people arrested was reported yet.

An attack at an American military vehicle in Paktika has reportedly killed many soldiers, with specific numbers not yet confirmed yet. Daily Ausaf reports that one of the dead is believed to have been high ranking American officer. American helicopters arrived at the scene following the incident and searched for the attackers from air. The ambush began with a rocket attack and when the US convoy stopped, Mujahideen advanced from their positions to kill the American soldiers firing automatic weapons. US helicopters arrived quickly at the scene as the Mujahideen retreat due to lack of any anti aircraft weapons. Some of the helicopters were used to transport the dead and wounded while other provided air cover to ward off any further attacks.

In the province of Ghazni, two coalition soldiers were killed when local tribesmen fought soldiers for forcibly “registering” them for elections so “democracy” could be established. After the tribesmen refused to register, the coalition forces started to arrests the men, then a man named Naem (last name not known) opened fire on the Coalition forces and killed 1 Coalition and one afghan soldiers. Naem was able to escape, but the coalition army demolished his home, arresting his brothers and sent them to their concentration camp in Kabul. The Afghan government has announced a bounty of half a million Afghanis for the information leading to the arrest of Naem.
