Afghanistan

A Pentagon report said the Taliban are getting stronger. An Afghan MP said US forces killed a family member during a raid on her home in Nangarhar; ISAF claimed the person was an “armed individual.” Afghan forces killed a district-level Taliban commander in Kunduz. Coalition and Afghan forces detained two Haqqani Network facilitators and two fighters, and an undisclosed number of Taliban fighters in Khost, Nimroz, and Kandahar.
