Afghan forces defeats Taliban’s “Omari” offensive
Afghanistan Ministry of National Defense (MoD) says that the Afghan forces has defeated the armed Taliban’s Omari offensive.
“All operations of Afghan forces were in attacking positions and defeating Taliban’s Omari offensive is a great achievement for our Afghan troops,” Dawalt Waziri, spokesman of MoD said.
Operation Omari “was initiated and planned by the Islamic Emirate’s leadership, the leaders of the Military Commission as well as the Emirate’s military planners,” according to the Taliban group. The Military Commission is the largest and most important branch of the Taliban.
In previous years, the Taliban said that “infiltration attacks,” which are better known as green-on-blue or insider attacks, would be launched against Coalition and Afghan forces.
In 2012, just one year after the Taliban announced that it was ramping up such assaults, green-on-blue attacks accounted for 15 percent of Coalition casualties, according to data compiled by The Long War Journal.
