More Than 2 DozenTaliban Attacks This Spring; 81 Afghan Troops Were Killed as US Left Nation

A new US government report reveals today (July 29, 2021) that the Taliban offensive this spring included more than two dozen insider attacks during the 90-day period ending June 30, a wave of violence that left at least 81 Afghan troops  dead, as the U.S. withdrew its forces from the country, according to the Washington Post website. 


At least 37 Afghan troops were wounded in those attacks.


The data  underscores the enormous challenges and immense pressure facing Afghan forces who have been left to fight militants with little U.S. support.
