Over 100 Taliban killed in attack
News Release #732 is referred to in this note, and other press releases on the ISAF site. It is, however, not posted at that site. Our story on the battle can be found here.
A more detailed battlefield assessment following the Oct. 3 attack in Nuristan has determined that enemy forces suffered more than 100 dead during the well-coordinated defense — significantly higher losses than originally thought.
Additionally, ISAF now believes that while the attack was conducted by local anti-Afghan forces, while local Taliban and elements of Hezb-e Islami Gulbuddin (HiG) may have helped facilitate the attack.
The group responsible for conducting the attack was initially reported as “Nuristani tribal militia.”
