KABUL, May 31 (Reuters) - Taliban fighters killed at least a dozen Afghan police and abducted up to 40 in two separate attacks in southern Afghanistan, while U.S.-led forces launched an offensive in a nearby province, officials said on Wednesday.

In the southern province of Zabul, a senior police official, Mohammad Rasoul, was killed and four other people, including two senior provincial officials, were wounded after the Taliban hit their car with a rocket on Tuesday night.

"They were part of a reinforcement sent to help a group of highway police who had come under Taliban attack on a road of Zabul," said Yousuf Stanizai, the Interior Ministry spokesman.

An official in Zabul, who declined to be identified, said more than 10 policemen were killed in the Taliban assault.

Something about history... and those doomed to repeat same.

There is always a winner in Afghanistan and it is always the same team.

In Afghanistan. :shrug:

:( I really hope not, but that seems to be the MO

boosh could have stayed and focused on OBL, and left when either they had captured him, killed him, or determined that he is in the UAE--I mean determined that he is no longer in Afghanistan. But no, fuck no. BFEE head of to Iraq to see how much death & mayhem they could inflict there.

It's ramping up in Afghanistan, and it's only going to get uglier. Bush fucked up and our men & women shouldn't have to pay with their blood for it. Bring our men & women home NOW.

...of a crumbling resistance. We have them right where we want them now!
