We have been in Afghanistan for 17 years and still the Taliban terrorists are blowing themselves up and cutting off heads.

New York Times - Taliban Kill More Than 200 Afghan Defenders on 4 Fronts: ‘a Catastrophe’

In Ajristan, a district in the rugged western part of Ghazni Province about 90 miles from the city, an entire Afghan National Army commando unit disappeared for two days after the Taliban drove two bomb-laden vehicles into its base on Friday, setting off powerful explosions that destroyed the base and killed an unknown number of soldiers and policemen there, according to a senior Afghan security official. The official, speaking on the condition of anonymity because of the delicacy of the issue, said they feared that as many as 100 of the commandos and their police allies had been killed. “It was a catastrophe,” he said.

The survivors reportedly fled the base into the mountainous, arid terrain, according to Zamin Ali Hedayat, the governor of the neighboring district, Malistan. Mr. Hedayat said that 30 of the survivors — commandos and policemen — along with the local police chief, Obaidullah Khan, fled toward the Miramor District in the neighboring province of Daykondi. He said the Taliban ambushed them en route, beheading Mr. Khan and killing all 30 of the others.
