U.S., Afghan air force unleash massive airstrikes as Taliban threaten key cities
(Worthy News) – The Afghan air force on Monday pounded the Taliban with repeated airstrikes in an effort to keep insurgent fighters from capturing key cities in southern and western Afghanistan, officials said, as the battle for the country’s future moves from the rural countryside toward major population centers.
U.S. air power in recent days also has hit Taliban positions on the outskirts of Herat, Lashkar Gah and Kandahar, according to Afghan leaders. Each of those cities is under threat of attack by Taliban forces that have amassed nearby.
Afghan President Ashraf Ghani spoke to lawmakers Monday and said the security situation will improve as the U.S.-backed government in Kabul seeks a political arrangement with the rival Taliban. [ Source: Washington Times (Read More…) ]
