"A fretful day of freedom; Afghan police blanket Kabul for celebration" by Fisnik Abrashi, Associated Press | August 18, 2008
KABUL, Afghanistan - Afghan police ordered 7,000 officers onto the streets of Kabul to guard against attacks on senior leaders during Independence Day celebrations today, responding to signs of the Taliban's growing strength near the capital.
Been that way for a while!!!!
So what the recycling and reiterating liars of the AmeriKan MSM really mean it is the Taliban is GETTING CLOSER to Kabul!!!
"Preying on a weak government and rising public concerns about security, the Taliban are enjoying a military resurgence in Afghanistan and are now staging attacks just outside the capital, according to Western diplomats, private security analysts, and aid workers (Washington Post September 28, 2007 )."
Even the location of the celebration of Afghanistan's 89th anniversary of independence from Britain was kept secret and will be closed to the public to try to minimize the risk insurgents could again disrupt a national commemoration.
Taliban violence has spiked across Afghanistan in recent days, including an ambush on a NATO convoy yesterday, attacks on police checkpoints, and a roadside bomb targeting a police convoy. More than 90 people were killed over four days - most of them reportedly Taliban insurgents.
Then how come the Zionist-controlled War Dailies are reporting this crap instead of that, or slapping a brief up every couple days.
Fuck you, MSM, and the mass-murderer you enable and hide!
Kabul so far has been spared the violence afflicting much of Afghanistan, but there are signs the Taliban and other militant groups have gained a foothold in neighboring provinces. And the capital suffered spectacular bomb attacks this year against an international hotel and the Indian Embassy.
I really can't check that out, except to say the fucking agenda-pushing press was SAYING the SAME THING a YEAR AGO!!!!
