In Kabul, Afghanistan a NATO plane crash in southern Afghanistan unfortunately killed four international troops. During that same day the Taliban announced that they will target military sites with suicide bombers and infiltrate enemy forces. The Afghan Defense Ministry said that their security forces are prepared for the Taliban's new campaign, which is some good news for the American soldiers. The ministry says that, "The Afghan National Army is ready to neutralize the offensive," which sounds like a lot of action. The Taliban gave an announcement, vowing to step up on their violent attacks due to the fact that the winter is over and it is now summer, which makes traveling and fighting a lot easier for them, but it most likely means the same for our troops. The Taliban also mention that they will use whatever tactics that they know against the "foreigners". Their Muslim military commander, Khalid ibn al-Walid, is also known as the "Drawn Sword of God," is supposedly a companion of Islam's Prophet Muhammad, just so that we know what we are dealing with.
