KABUL, Afghanistan – Hundreds of insurgents launched a large-scale attack Tuesday against police in Afghanistan's remote Nuristan province, a part of the country that is largely controlled by the Taliban, officials said.
Provincial police chief Gen. Shams-ul Rahman Zahid said about 400 Taliban fighters were involved in the attack, which started after daybreak, targeting checkpoints around a base housing police reserve units located about 11 miles (18 kilometers) south of the provincial capital of Parun.
It's the second such large attack staged by the Taliban in less than four days and just one week after U.S. special forces killed al-Qaida leader Osama bin Laden.
Still need proof the Taliban attacks Afghans before NATO/US?
