British and Afghan forces repulsed an attempt by hundreds of Taleban fighters to attack the provincial capital of Helmand, Lashkar Gah, on Saturday night in the most audacious Taliban attack in the province since 2006.
Up to 100 Taleban fighters were killed in a series of airstrikes and firefights around the city outskirts in fighting that began in the early evening as Taleban fighters were concentrating to attack the city of three sides and continued into the early hours of Sunday morning.
It was the first time that the Helmand capital has been attacked.
The Taleban plan appeared to be for a “Tet Offensive” style infiltration of the city, the seat of the Afghan provincial government and home to the headquarters of the British commander in Helmand and the civilian reconstruction component of the British mission in Helmand.

I guess that the writer of the article is unaware that the NVA got its butt kicked during their Tet 1968 assault. According to NVA sources, they lost 60%+ of their invasion force.
The taliban got slaughtered in their “attack”
so what its TET offensive it over we lost, send the choppers to evacuate everyone
did i mention it was TET
TET i tell you
Couldn’t happen to a nicer bunch of bung holes.
Sounds like an excellent excuse to send in the SAS, Royal Marine Commandos, and the Black Watch to “secure the area” and remove the threat permanently.
One wounded Taleban fighter was heard to say, “Hey, don’t you be sneakin’ up on me, while I’m sneakin’ up on you!”
i guess i should be use to the glorious reporting by the proletariat propaganda wing
I told somebody here last night that the Times of London (owned by Murdoch for the past decade or more) is not a conservative paper. The Times is crap now.
The source of the story was Al Reuters. the Times just re-parrotted the Al Jezzerah propaganda.
Yup. The Viet Cong were completely eliminated as a force.
