Over 50 Taliban an 8 Afghan police were killed in battles across Afghanistan. Poland will send 1,000 troops to boost the NATO mission, while Latvia will send an additional 20. An aerial photograph of over 190 Taliban gathering at a funeral and the failure to strike calls the rules of engagement into question.
