    Taliban fighters have increasingly turned away from classic guerrilla warfare and instead have taken up what Afghan officials call "terror tactics" -- kidnapping, suicide attacks and roadside bombs.

    Couple of days ago, Taliban attacked to the Turkish Forces in Afghanistan. They never attacked to Turkish forces before so that was the first attack for them.

    A Suicide bomber came next to a Turkish Armed Vehicle, he tried to open the door of car but he couldn't because it was locked then he exploded himself. After that lots of terrorists opened fire upon to vehicles and soldiers, Turkish forces opened a counter-fire upon them too. And then Taliban's terorists ran away. Only 1 guy died and he was the suicide bomber :rolleyes:

    Taliban is getting powerful again in Afghanistan, USA have to do some operations before they get more dangerous. I hope these Koreans survive.
