KABUL (Reuters) - A Taliban attack in central Afghanistan on Monday killed scores of security personnel, officials said, with some estimates putting the death toll at more than 100, amid government silence about one of the most deadly insurgent attacks in months.
Attackers rammed a captured military Humvee packed with explosives into a training center of the National Directorate for Security in Maidan Wardak province, west of the capital Kabul. At least two gunmen followed up, spraying the compound with gunfire before they were shot down.
==============================================
I would assume that the Taliban are encouraged & emboldened by Trump's statement that we will begin withdrawing troops from the country.
Alexander the Great, the Brits & the Russians failed to subjugate Afghanistan. Why do our leaders not learn from history?
