Suicide blasts indicate defeat of Taliban: ISAF
KABUL, Oct 9 (Pajhwok Afghan News): A NATO-led ISAF commander in Kabul Monday branded surging suicide attacks in the city as defeat of the militants in south and eastern parts of the country.

Speaking at a news conference here Brig Gen Frank LDBOT said they could not prevent such attacks. He said they had made joint plans with Kabul police and national intelligence to decrease the number of such attacks. "Taliban and Gulbudin Hekmatyar men were conducting suicide blasts," he added.

They used different techniques to control disruptive activities, he said. He said their forces prevented two explosions in Kabul city, however he would not give further details on the incident. Nine suicide attacks have so far occurred in the Kabul city in the last six months.
