A British sniper killed six Taliban fighters in Afghanistan with a single bullet, according to the Ministry of Defence
Four international soldiers have been killed in two reported “insider attacks” in Afghanistan according to officials.
The ISAF withdrawal from Afghanistan in 2014 has once again pushed South-Central Asia, a globally strategic region, towards a decisive turning point similar to Soviet withdrawal from the war torn country in 1988. The strategic security of the regional and international interests has changed the debate, which now unfortunately is more concerned about the interests of various countries than that of the Afghan people.

I didn’t plan on spending six years covering the war in Afghanistan. I went there in 2007 to make a film about the vicious fighting between undermanned, underequipped British forces and the Taliban in Helmand, Afghanistan’s most violent province.
