    At least 50 Taliban leaders die in HIMARS strike in Afghanistan

    At least 50 Taliban leaders die in HIMARS strike in Afghanistan

    We got intel of a large group of Taliban leaders from many Afghan provinces were meeting together. We took them out with HIMARS- a multiple rocket launcher system. Serious over-kill. But KTF.



    A U.S. rocket artillery strike last week on a gathering of Taliban leaders in southern Afghanistan killed at least 50 of them, a U.S. military official said Tuesday.

    Lt. Col. Martin O’Donnell, a spokesman for the U.S.-led coalition in Afghanistan, said a weapon system known as the High Mobility Artillery Rocket System, or HIMARS, which is capable of firing GPS-guided rockets, destroyed a command-and-control position that was a known meeting place for high-level Taliban leaders. He said at least 50 leaders were killed.





    Additional, unspecified numbers of Taliban officials were killed in U.S. airstrikes over a recent 10-day period, the spokesman said.

    @Peter1469, I take it that KTF is a military term?

    Not when I was in, it may be now. I found the term in a popular Kindle e-book series about a galactic war. One group of good guys are the Republic's Legion. Their motto is KTF: Kill Them First.
