There are clashes every day,\u201d said Amanullah Hotaki, head of the Uruzgan provincial council.\u00a0 \u201cWe witness blasts in Kunar every day. The government should prevent such attacks,\u201d said Nasir Kamawal, a member of the Kunar provincial council.\u00a0 Some security officials said that May 1st witnessed an increase in Taliban attacks in parts of the country. \u201cOver the last 24 hours, attacks were carried out in Panjwai, Arghistan, Maiwand, Shah Wali Kot, Nesh, Mianshin and Takhta Pul districts and other outposts,\u201d said Jamal Barikzai, spokesman for the Kandahar police.\u00a0 The government forces said that all Taliban attacks were pushed back and they suffered heavy casualties. This comes as a US forces spokesman Col. Sonny Leggett on Saturday said that Kandahar Airfield received ineffective indirect fire on Saturday afternoon. No injury to personnel or damage to equipment, he said.\u00a0 Referring to this attack, US and NATO forces commander in Afghanistan Gen. Scott Miller said: \u201cA return to violence would be one senseless and tragic. But make no mistake, we have the military means to respond forcefully to any type of attacks against the coalition and the military means to support the Afghan security forces. That would be a mistake to move in that direction.\u201d \u201cSecurity forces are in a better position,\u201d said Fawad Aman, a spokesman for the Ministry of Defense. \u201cThe Taliban is faced with defeat on the battlefield and all their focus is on harming civilians.\u201d The US forces started their withdrawal from Afghanistan on May 1st.\u00a0 The Defense Ministry said that Camp Antonik in the Washir district in the southern province of Helmand was officially handed over to the ANA\u2019s 215 Maiwand Corp on Sunday.\u00a0 The ministry said the camp will be used as a base for Afghan special forces.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
