Officials: 13 would-be suicide bombers killed
Afghan and coalition soldiers killed more than 30 insurgents, including 13 would-be suicide bombers, as they fought off assaults on two military bases and government buildings in eastern Afghanistan, the NATO-led International Security Assistance Force (ISAF) said on Sunday.
The attacks, which happened Saturday morning, were led by Haqqani network insurgents and were against Forward Operating Base Salerno and Forward Operating Base Chapman, ISAF said. Both bases are located in Khost province, a volatile region on Afghanistan's rugged border with Pakistan.
The Haqqani network is a militant group with ties to al Qaeda.
Insurgents clad in U.S. military uniforms and wielding rocket-propelled grenades and small arms launched simultaneous attacks on the two bases, ISAF said. ISAF had previously reported more than 20 insurgents had died in the fighting.
Thirteen of the insurgents killed were wearing suicide vests, ISAF said, adding that Afghan and coalition soldiers followed up on intelligence tips and later captured a commander involved in planning the attacks.
"The insurgents' attempts to attack ISAF or Afghan government facilities were defeated again. The insurgent leadership who direct these ill-conceived attacks far from the actual battlefield knows their low-level fighters have no chance of success against these targets," Brig. Gen. Josef Blotz, an ISAF spokesman, said in a statement.
Separately on Sunday, ISAF said Afghan and international forces captured a senior Taliban commander in Logar province. Zia Ul-Haq is accused of helping foreign fighters and suicide bombers get into the capital, Kabul.
He was captured along with a sub-commander and another insurgent on Wednesday, ISAF said in a statement.
Chapman is the same base where a suicide bomber killed seven CIA officers late last year.
How to spot a outright CNN lie. Read the above story as given to CNN word-for-word by the Pentagon whose only been caught lying a few thousand times.
as pessimistic ( i know i spelled that wrong too btw) as this sounds.... another will take his place..... I hope we catch the baztard!
When, may I ask, can people believe the boy who cried wolf? Elementary, Dr Watson, never. Our armed forces that have been caught with their hands in the cookie jar by paying for "good, manipulated" news have no credibility. I still remember when a general, trying to explain how the "Surge" was working, said that his troops had killed 400 insurgents and when pressed for details, he gave a la agent Smart the woudl you believe 300? 200? 100?, O.K. it's settle lets leave it at three insurgents. It's hard to believe that that many insurgents had assembled under NATOs noses and they couldn't kill one soldier. Something is definetely rotten in America and it's obvious that the truth is nowhere to be found. How many times the same forces have tried to pass innocent civilians for insurgents? Too many to count. I wouldn't believe any our government has to say trying to explain their criminal ways.
Extremely well stated,Emile Zola.We soarly need more people like you blogging in here instead of all these ignorant,right-wing,warmongering nutjobs!!!
Spoken like a true terrorist Emile, you stupid Paki Beeeooooochhh!!!! Now even the Paki Beeeooooccchhhhs are in the game!!!!
Good job boys, keep it up! Your fellow servicemen fully support you in the fight against al Qaeda, as do all real Americans.
Welcome to paradise! But we are out of virgins, Sorry! {{:-o>>
Damn; suicide bombers killed in their line of duty. Arriving in (Muslim) heaven, they discover that instead of 70 virgins, they are to become aquainted with 5 lowly sheep, all males, forever. What a bummer dude.
GOOD! Kill every damn one of these creatures and do it now!
So are those filthy creeps who operate those ungodly predator drones,murdering both "militants" and civilians alike.
Sorry Jerry,I didn't post the above.Some right-wing nutjob is trying to make me look just as bad as he is!
Religion by any other name is still a scam and so are Republican and Democrat affiliations.
The world needs to practice freedom of religion.
It's also very entertaining listening to all you ignorant poor people who call yourselves
Republican... so gullibleš¦
finally! If i had a voice in 'mercian military this war would've ended a long time ago. Kill enough of them and eventually you will get the right ones. Plus it's nice when they knock on your front door.
Do you really harbor that much hatred,fapa101010? Have you absolutely no sense of justice at all?I guess that you have a right to feel the way you do.
GOD CAN NEVER BE MEAN HOWEVER FOLLOWERS CAN BE WHEN GOING AGAINST GOD. DON'T BLAME GOD FOR THE FAULTS OF YAKUBI. REMEMBER YOU SHOULD THINK BEFORE YOU SPEAK.
Grimlock I did not post that below you and I do not think Washington wants to have a war, but these Islamic radicals will not stop at their attempt to control the world and have everyone submissive to their religion! We must do all we can in this war on terror to show the extremists that they will not succeed!
Talk about controlling the world,what do you think the MIC(military-industrial-complex) is trying to do???
Yea right?
That's a good question,Bledsoe.Any idiot knows that the MIC wants to do precisely that! Our foreign policy says as much.
So I am correct that your 360 degrees allows you to kill and torture people huh? And this is what God asks of your people?
All religion is just fictional history loosely based on people who once existed but inflated to superior beings in order to control others. If you need read a book written by pedophiles over 1400+ yrs ago then you need help. There is no god and all religion is cr@p. Do not fall for the great insurance scam the priest, imam, rabbi. or who ever is selling you. All death and destruction is because of religion.
I hope the ignorant Af-Pak Taliban foot soldiers continue to follow orders and martyr themselves. I think they should attempt this on a daily basis. It really is a tragedy that the rank and file are so desperate they can be led to believe that a suicide mission (whether self inflicted or compliments of ISAF) is the best thing they can do for themselves and their family on a given night. Don't they realize they they are beyond expendable and this is essentially an easy way for their employer to try to get some value from them but also ensure they never have to pay them? It is no wonder that the Taliban are so opposed to any education. We need to carpet bomb the entire region with some enlightened self interest.
No wonder our country's in such bad shape economically with like minded people like you running things in Washington.We need to vote all you warmongers out of office and start anew but with so much ignorance and fanaticism running rampant,that's not likely to happen anytime soon.
You said it all,Grimlock.Well put.
You forgot that THEY started the war. Another thing, Iraq anti-war lingo ain't going to work because THEY started the war. We'll stay there until Osama Bin Laden is dead or captured. It's easy to say "well, we have time on our hands so that when you leave we will declare victory..." That is the most idiotic comment I have ever heard. Even the Nazis weren't stupid enough to make that argument. We kill so many of the enemy a month, it would boggle your mind.
Lastly, if someone gives you some crap about no one ever conquering the Afghans, well, just mention Alexander the Great who did just that over 2000 years ago. Oh, I forgot, he eventually left so I guess the Afghans won.
Grimlock and Dan, you two are P****ies and need to shut the FOOk UP Beeeeooooooches!!!! Go change your tampons Beeeooooochhhhhs!!!
Look Phunnie boy,I don't mind you so much usurping my name as I do with your using that filthy Tea Party lingo in order to vomit your right-wing ignorance under it.I wish that you'd kindly quit,please.
lol nice to see not everyone commenting here is a surrender monkey
Most of the people posting defeatist comments here are Daniel-2. What a busy little sad person.
Now I see that you're the jerk who keeps stealing my ID and I know that you're not Bledsoe,either.Is it really necessary to make a joke out of this obscene war while so many people are suffering?It 's almost as vile as those right-wing thugs in Washington are!!! Where's your shame or do you feel any???
The only obscene thing about this war is the killings that the radical Muslims continue to do in the name of Allah!!!
Now he just usurped my name.I didn't post the above comment.Anything to get a laugh out of life!!!
But wasn't Islam spread by the point of a sword in most cases? Isn't the way you reckon time from when mohammad became a warlord? Didn't muslims invade Spain and Europe first and not vice versa?
Hindus are more peaceful than muslims in my opinion. Check it out, jihadwatch.org. I don't like the conservative feel to this site but it does give a decent history lesson.
now its easy for the terrorist to enter the military bases becasue Karzai is supporting them, and there is some new recruitment of those people by Karzai, who are Taliban
justice is winning, the truth is replaced . Lie has no place to hide.
Except in the West,of course.The right-wing news media is always trying to make the NATO forces look good,not to mention our hidden agenda over there.
All the peace loving people who are in thirst for justice will win no matter what the rest is believing
If what you say is true,that means that the NATO forces cannot win!!!
How right you are,Bubba!!!
dindy. It looks like he stole your name too...
do not right things in my name .I am not bubba. I am dindy from sri lanka
Are you that desperate to steel my name?
Huzzah good work!
Don't we have enough people spewing that right-wing already?How old it gets!
French "Le Monde" says that 7 american soldiers killed on 30 august 2010 in South Afghanistan... Suprisingly, no news of that on CNN...
Of course not! Do you think that any right-wing news agency will report that? They want the NATO forces to look victorious.
Is that all we killed?
Are you really that bloodthirsty,Maritta? Do you harbor that much hate? No wonder the Tea Partiers are so successful in recruiting new members with all this hatred running so rampant across the country! How sad it is!!!
You are deadwrong. Those suicide bombers already chose death for themselves. The only question was how many of our troops they were going to take with them. The faster they are eliminated before they can do the work of their devil the safer our troops will be ... you know the troops putting their lives on the line to keep you from being enslaved. Its not hate to be glad our troops won!
Here's some more of that right-wing bla-bla-bla.It never ends,does it Capt'n Dubya?
Maritta. Sadly yes but to look on the bright side most of them were on a 'one way ticket' anyway.
Another field day for the right-wing thugs in Washington! I bet that they're happy now,hip,hip,hurray or should I say,Sieg Heil???
BUBBA–ALABAMA STYLE, should you say,Sieg Heil? No stop the childish language games already.
Why shouldn't he?After all,German is the most beautiful language that there is.
I bet that they'll be singing up a storm in Washington tonight over this one.
I like the Russian language myself and as much as I hate to disagree with you Dan,I think that it's even more beautiful than German.
The Russian language sounds as lovely as the sound of a pig being slaughtered to me but each to their own.
That's because you have absolutely no knowledge of the Russian language. In fact,I bet that you can't even speak any language other than English,can you? No surprise there.
you are such a D-bag, I am sure you are just a 12 yr old child spouting the religious cr@p you daddy says. You have no concept of reality and only spread hate. May your uncle have aids and pass it to you during you muslim man training.
YABBA-DABBA-DOO!!!
Never mind that,Phunnie boy.Lets just enjoy our field day,please.
Hey Paramedic Andy,can you just forget that Tea Party lingo?Please do.
Sweet! Nothing better than a bunch of ragheads being sent to meet their 70 black eyed virgins early!! Just a question...why do they have black eyes, and why are they all virgins...begin the jokes now!!!
Never been beat by a Texan. I doubt you could kick even half of our asses, being that half the population is women.
1/2 of your population of men ACT like women, riding side-saddle! C'mon, you make it entirely TOO easy!!!! Better yet, let's have a boxing match...oh wait, the sporting goods stores won't take California IOU's either!!! When will you wake up and realize that your ways are NOT working?
