Taliban Claims Its Fighters Killed Nine U.S. Service Members In Central Afghanistan

On August 4, the Taliban claimed that its fighters killed nine U.S. service members and injured two others in the central province of Parwan. According to the Taliban news agency Voice of Jihad, the service members were killed when Taliban fighters targeted their vehicles with IEDs in the district of Bagram.

The Afghan group’s news agency added that Taliban fighters managed to block the Kabul-Bamyan highway in the district of Syagard after the attacks.

The U.S. Army in Afghanistan has not commented on the Taliban’s claims yet. Usually this means that the claims are false. However, more details may surface in the upcoming hours.

Last month, two U.S. service members, Sergeant First Class Christopher Andrew Celiz and Corporal Joseph Maciel, were killed in Afghanistan. While Celiz lost his life during a military operation, Maciel was killed in what was described as an “insider attack” by a rogue soldier of the Afghan National Army (ANA).

According to the Pentagon, 2,372 U.S. service members have been killed since the beginning of the U.S. intervention in Afghanistan. With no visible end for the crisis in the war-torn country, the number will likely continue to grow.

Robert Ferrin

That’s right American are not suppose to think nor question why, but only do or die,and now you know why Americans are considered the dumbest animals on the planet…

Vidura

They aren’t considered that. In fact our country by itself produces more scientific papers than any other combined.

Tommy Jensen

It’s the Rothschild banksters dollar.It was never an American dollar.Since 1913 the Rothschild dollar has created wars for profit,and to enslave nations,while making their racist regime israhell stronger,to take over the resources of the middle east.

Taleban the only group, after the Sovjet-Afghan war, US going home, able to clean up the many milits gangs and organise a school, medical care and justice system plus they banned opium in year 2000. Then the “peace” organisation NATO arrived in year 2001 and forced Afghans into the heroine factories again..
