The al Qaeda-linked Haqqani Network lost more than 30 fighters and a commander during their Aug. 28 attack. US and Afghan troops killed more than 30 Haqqani Network insurgents during the early-morning assault on FOB's Salerno and Chapman. Thirteen of of those killed were wearing suicide vests.
After the fighting, we capitalized on intelligence tips and captured a Haqqani Network commander who was involved in planning the attacks.
I don't think they get it!!! These attack have become little more than exercises in target practice here, They show up, we watch them on our cameras, and then we kill them.
