Taliban militants claim they have killed several US soldiers during the attack.
“Already 18 American troops were killed and a US helicopter as well as an Afghan police vehicle were damaged” during the attack, claimed Zabihullah Mujahid, a Taliban spokesman.
“There is ongoing activity there, but it is fresh and I can’t give more details,” Lieutenant Commander Katie Kendrick told Reuters on Saturday.
The Taliban often exaggerate as do the Afghan authorities I cannot find any reliable source at this time.
But...but...how can this be? I thought we were “making friends” with the “moderate” taliban? Maybe they were just coming to the base to talk and NATO troops overreacted. All praise the nobama.
I read last night that the taliban were wearing American uniforms and that is how they were able to get in.
