Taliban Hangs 8-Year-Old Afghan Boy

Father refused to give militants a police vehicle

(NEWSER) - The Taliban has hanged an 8-year-old boy, in tragic retribution after the boy's cop father refused to give militants a police vehicle, reports CNN. The child was kidnapped Friday in the southern province of Helmand, and killed at an unknown point after that. President Hamid Karzai condemned the boy's execution, calling it an action "not permitted in any culture or any religions," and calling for the immediate arrest of those responsible. This is the latest in increasing Taliban attacks as Afghan troops begin taking over security. More»

Obama Weighs Quicker Afghanistan Pullout

But Gates, Petraeus point to risks

(NEWSER) - With Osama bin Laden dead and war costs increasing, the Obama administration is weighing a sharper drawdown of troops from Afghanistan than it had planned, the New York Times reports. But the issue is still very much up in the air, and outgoing defense secretary Robert Gates advocates slower steps. “I would try to maximize my combat capability as long as this process goes on—I think that’s a no-brainer,” he said. “I’d opt to keep the shooters and take the support out first.” More»

US Now in Afghanistan as Long as Soviets

9 years, 50 days: Same length, different fight, analysts say

(NEWSER) - As of today, the US military has been fighting in Afghanistan for 9 years and 50 days—exactly as long as the Soviets did during their doomed campaign to turn the country into a socialist state. Analysts say that while the Soviet invasion and the NATO campaign have very different goals—and body counts—it remains to be seen whether the final outcome will be the same. More than a million civilians were killed during the Soviet campaign, while fewer than 10,000 have been killed by NATO forces, an Afghan analyst notes. More»

Afghan Women Dread Peace With Taliban

TIME talks to woman mutilated by militants

(NEWSER) - It appears increasingly likely that the US exit strategy from Afghanistan will involve some form of reconciliation with the Taliban. But that’s a terrifying thing for many Afghan women, Time reports this week, plastering on its cover the grisly image of an 18-year-old woman who had her nose and ears cut off by her husband on the orders of a Taliban judge. Her crime? Running away from an abusive husband. More»

For Pakistan, Taliban Leader Outranks US

Islamabad backs off Haqqani, a crucial link to Afghanistan

(NEWSER) - Pakistani officials are balking at pursuing a Taliban leader who poses a major threat to US forces in Afghanistan, underscoring their lack of faith in the Obama surge. Pakistan has made a separate peace with Siraj Haqqani, allowing him the use of North Waziristan as a base of operations after the Tablian's collapse in 2001. The country sees Haqqani as crucial to maintaining influence in Afghanistan after the US pulls out in 2011. More»
