WASHINGTON (Pajhwok): The Taliban have been unable to capture territories, even though there has been increasing effort by the fighters to capture a provincial capital, a senior Resolute Support Mission official said on Friday.
“We think we're seeing an effort by the Taliban to absolutely capture a provincial capital and we think they realise that they're coming close to the end of the year and they want to do it before the winter sets in,” said the NATO deputy . . .
