Taliban launches suicide assault against Bagram Air Base as negotiations resume
By Bill Roggio | December 11, 2019 | admin@longwarjournal.org | @billroggio

The Taliban attacked Bagram Air Base using a suicide truck bomb and armed fighters today, just as the US and the Taliban have reopened negotiations that would allow the US to extricate itself from Afghanistan.

The fighting at Bagram remained ongoing at the time of this report.

In a statement released on its official website, Voice of Jihad, the Taliban claimed credit for the attack. The Taliban statement detailed the suicide assault, a tactic honed by al Qaeda and successfully adopted by the Taliban over the years.

The "negotiations" are nothing but taqiya against the West.
Just nuke those bleep already...

When the North Koreans (and Chinese) wanted to regroup, they negotiated.
Whenever the NVA wanted to regroup, they negotiated.
Now, the Taliban?
You'd think someone would 'get it'.

They learned from the Vietcong.    You always become more aggressive around the time of negotiations.

And big western holidays.  Nothing like the joy of killing a bunch of people for Christmas.
