Afghanistan

ISAF commander General Campbell described the Taliban’s recent gains in Afghanistan as “fleeting.” The Taliban killed four Afghan soldiers in a suicide attack that targeted a military bus in Kabul. In his Eid address, Taliban emir Mullah Omar claimed victory and urged Afghan security personnel to attack Coalition soldiers.
