NATO Kills 115 Militants in Afghanistan Fight

KABUL, Afghanistan - NATO and Afghan forces have killed at least 115 insurgents over the past week as part of an ongoing operation in a northeastern Afghanistan province, the coalition said Thursday, as it looks to curb insurgent activity along the border with neighboring Pakistan.


The fighting in Kunar province, known for its rugged terrain that leaves coalition supply lines from Pakistan vulnerable to insurgent attacks, comes as NATO is stepping up efforts to secure the country and ready Afghan forces to fully take over security responsibilities before international forces wind down their combat mission in 2014.


NATO said the operation has been going on since around Oct. 15 and has included the use of fighter jets and long-range bombers. The alliance said that one NATO service member has been killed since the fighting began. It was not immediately clear if any Afghan troops had been killed.

Do you mean pakistani are not supporter of TTP?(all member of TTP is pakistani)
 
Why they always tells one side of the story, how many NATO and Afghan forces were killed in these attacks?
 
you making it sound like- a no big deal- wonder what stoped the mighty nato fire power to kill all of them yet-
1. Politics; ISAF has no plan to eliminate Taliban. It is using carrot and stick approach with Taliban forces to force them to the negotiation table with present Afghan government.

2. Taliban is not like a regular fighting force. It used to be like one but was decimated by ISAF in direct engagements. Taliban survivors then used a different approach to conduct warfare; gureilla tactics. Afghan territory helps them in this regard. Furthermore, You cannot easily distinguish a Taliban soldier from a local if you find the two together.
