Afghanistan

The Taliban claim victory after British troops withdraw from Musa Qala in Helmand province. A suicide bomber killed two children and a British Marine in Lashkar Gah. “Gunmen” murdered and robbed 8 Afghan workers in Korengal. Pakistan’s tribal belt is the Afghan Taliban’s main source of weaponry.
