Up to 22 NATO trucks carrying supplies to foreign troops in Afghanistan were destroyed on Wednesday by a bomb planted by Taliban insurgents, according to a Taliban statement and police reports.
“Eighteen fuel trucks and four supply vehicles were parked in Aibak, the capital of Samangan province, when a bomb ripped through them,” Reuters reports local police as saying. Only one person was wounded in the attack.
“At 2 a.m. the mujahideen attacked the invader NATO trucks,” the Taliban said in a statement. The supply trucks were coming to Afghanistan through Uzbekistan, Afghanistan’s northern neighbor which the Obama administration has cozied up to in recent years.
Pakistan only recently reopened its borders to allow the passage of NATO supplies into Afghanistan, and the northern route for the US is still six times more expensive. The loss of such a massive amount of supplies is a major blow to Washington’s failed war.
No comments from Obama, Hillary and Panetta?
I thought this war was won?
Obviously someone forgot to tell the Taliban to lie down and die.
The blood and cries to heaven will not go unanswered, Mujahideen have unseen help and sceptics remain in the dark.
The Back flagged army from Khorasan are coming;
the west with all their might are failing and of a certainty their failure drives them to commit all accesses, striking out like an enraged beast, blinded and unable to reason, and thus destroying itself eventually.
A bomb? Must be the Iranians, ”all the signs lead to Iran”.
Icasualties reports at least 4 more Nato dead July 18. The DoD reported four U.S. soldiers killed July 17.
like skeet shooting.
