Afghanistan

US Vice President Joe Biden said the US would be out of Afghanistan in 2014 “come hell or high water.” Taliban suicide assault teams killed 13 soldiers and policemen in attacks on military recruitment centers in Kabul and Kunduz. The Taliban also killed an ISAF soldier in the south. Coalition and Afghan forces killed and captured several Taliban and Haqqani Network commanders and fighters in Kandahar, Zabul. Paktia, Khost, and Nangarhar.
