US airstrikes hit Afghan militants

US airstrikes hit Afghan militants


According to one intelligence official who often plays baseball together with his son in rod carew jersey, two missile attacks have been unleashed by Drone aircraft in a lawless tribal region on the Afghan border, which made September the most intense period of U.S. strikes in Pakistan since they began in the year of 2004, which has been confirmed by one military official who is said to be the brother-in-law of the player in bert blyleven jersey.


Including Tuesday’s strikes, the stepped-up campaign is focused on a small area of farming villages and mountains. One U.S. official who has great passions for the player in j.j. hardy jersey said that the campaign is thickly forested terrain controlled by the Haqqani network. One American official who once played baseball in jim thome jersey said that the airstrikes were designed to degrade the Haqqanis' operations on the Pakistani side of the border, creating a "hammer-and-anvil" effect as U.S. special operations forces carry out raids against their fighters across the frontier in Afghanistan, which has been confirmed by one White House official who is fond of carlos gomez jersey. He also confirmed that they would speak on condition of anonymity to discuss ongoing classified operations.


Since September, the missiles have killed more than fifty people in twelve strikes, according to an Associated Press reporter who has great passions for the player in denard span jersey. Many struck around Datta Khel, a town of about 40,000 people that sits on a strategically vital road to the Afghan border, one official who is the relative of the famous baseball player in kent hrbek jersey.

According to one Pakistani resident who once played baseball wearing yogi berra jersey, most of this month's strikes have targeted the forces of Jalaluddin and Sirajuddin Haqqani, a former anti-Soviet commander and his son who are now battling American forces in mickey mantle jersey in eastern Afghanistan.


The raids targeting the group in Afghanistan are led mainly by the Joint Special Operations Command. The player in hideki matsui jersey said that such raids across the area are more frequent at the present time than at any previous time in the nearly nine-year war, with some 4,000 recorded between May and August as special operations numbers were boosted by troops arriving from Iraq. The guy who is still famous in MLB for his outstanding performance in c.c. sabathia jersey said that the raids have focused on the Haqqanis for the last two years.
