In Maidan Wardak Province, Sayedabad District, Mujahideen reported they observed several NATO/ISAF tanks stop, the crews dismounted and appeared to be in a meeting. Mujahideen launched their attack at that point, killing four NATO/ISAF personnel and wounding several others. U.S./NATO airstrikes were called in, killing at least two Mujahideen.

In Faryab Province, Maimana city, about 300 people protested the rape and murder of a 12 years old boy. The people accused the police of the crime, because it was reported that the crime took place near a police check point.
In Nangarhar Province, Shirzad and Khogyano districts, a major battle between Afghan National Police (ANP) forces and Afghan Mujahideen. Government sources say 76 Mujahideen killed, 22 Afghan cops killed. Mujahideen say they killed 84 cops, destroyed 13 vehicles and captured 16 vehicles. In Jalalabad city, the Indian consulate was hit by an explosion and gun battles. At least eight people killed, 21 wounded. Western news media said it was a suicide bomber, but local Afghan media said there was no confirmation of that. Indian officials insinuated the attack was planned by Pakistan.

I recently heard a U.S. attorney say flooding is rare in Afghanistan. In Kabul Province, Surobi District, four villages were hit by massive flash flooding. At least 96 people killed. The bodies of 40 have been recovered. 430 homes and businesses were destroyed. Also, the Washington Post confirmed that the U.S. is still controlling part of the infamous Bagram prison, or Second Gitmo. At least 67 non-Afghans are being held there.
An investigation into Afghanistan’s child prisons, by The Guardian, revealed that the common child criminal is illiterate, but those who have joined the Mujahideen are the most well educated kids in Afghanistan!!! The report also shows what I’ve stated before; education for boys isn’t anymore better than education for girls. According to the Red Coat article, the only education source for most Afghan boys are Madrasas in Pakistan. They come back literate but with bombs. The Guardian article also said children are abused in the child prisons.
A few days ago the U.S. Special Inspector General for Afghanistan Reconstruction (SIGAR) confirmed that U.S. tax dollars are going to Afghan contractors known to support Mujahideen. Now, they’ve revealed just how much taxpayers have been ripped off in this latest U.S. military led scam: “Dating back to 2008, SIGAR has identified more than $150m in reconstruction contracts and sub-contracts that have been awarded to companies known to be providing material support to insurgent and terrorist organizations in Afghanistan.”-John Sopko, SIGAR
