Dozens Are Dead After a Daytime Taliban Attack
At least 45 people were killed yesterday during a raid on an Afghan military base southwest of Kabul — though some sources put the death toll over 100. The brazen assault comes a day after Taliban militants killed eight security forces in a neighboring province, and a week after an attack in Kabul left five dead and dozens injured.
