Afghan Coalition Forces Prepare to Retake District from Taleban
The U. S. military in Afghanistan says coalition forces are preparing to retake Garmser district in southern Afghanistan that was captured by Taleban militants on Monday. The Islamic rebels have taken control of southernmost Garmser district in Helmand province after days of fighting. That remote desert province borders Pakistan, with its district capital about 200 kilometers from the frontier across an empty and scorching desert.
The US-led coalition says the Taleban also have taken control of a district north of Garmser called Naway-i-Barakzayi. But the French news agency quotes Afghan officials as saying they managed to push the rebels back after a few hours of fighting late Monday.
駐阿富汗美軍說，聯(lián)軍部隊正準(zhǔn)備重新拿下星期一被塔利班激進分子占領(lǐng)的阿富汗南部的加姆塞爾地區(qū)。伊斯蘭反政府武裝經(jīng)過數(shù)日戰(zhàn)斗控制了赫爾曼德省最南端的加姆塞爾地區(qū)。赫爾曼德省地處偏遠沙漠，與巴基斯坦接壤，其首府距離邊境200多公里，中間橫隔著空曠和炙熱的沙漠。
美國領(lǐng)導(dǎo)的聯(lián)軍還說，塔利班同時還控制了加姆塞爾以北的納萬伊-巴拉卡扎伊區(qū)。但是，法新社援引阿富汗官員的話說，星期一晚間在經(jīng)歷了幾個小時的戰(zhàn)斗后，反政府武裝被趕走。
