This would be good news so you may not have heard....
“Taleban are worn down, say British troops,” by Michael Evans - The Times (London)
British troops in southern Afghanistan have ''worn down'' the Taleban and forced them to abandon many of their key strongholds in Helmand province, a senior commander said yesterday. Brigadier Andrew Mackay, commander of 52 Brigade, said: ''The Taleban are now suffering from a lack of manpower and that is why they are having to rely on foreign fighters. They are also now operating outside their normal areas because they lack support from the local populations.''
