Afghanistan

Afghan forces have focused on the taking out the Haqqani network in eastern Afghanistan, which is led by Siraj Haqqani, the son of Taliban leader Jalaluddin. Four Taliban were captured in the Shajoy district of Zabul. The number of international trainers for the Afghan army and police is set to quadruple.
