Drone Strikes Kill 16 in Afghanistan


After killing about 700 people in drone attacks in Pakistan, it’s the first time that CIA has turned to drone attacks in Afghanistan which shows the desperation and frustration of Americans due to their failed war.



KABUL, Afghanistan — “The United States military said Tuesday it had killed 16 insurgents in two airstrikes using “unmanned aerial vehicles,” or drones, which are highly unusual in Afghanistan and more frequently associated with attacks on militants in neighboring Pakistan. In a statement, the American command in Kabul said the attacks began early Monday with a strike on an alleged safe house at Now Zad in Helmand Province, one of the most contested areas in the growing battle between the American-led coalition and Taliban insurgents. The attack killed 13 militants, the statement said. A second operation in the Nad Ali district of Helmand killed three insurgents, the command said.”
