Daesh vs. Taliban: Afghanistan Between Devil and Deep Blue Sea
MOSCOW (Sputnik) — According to TOLOnews broadcaster, citing Provincial Police Chief Sayed Gul Aqa Rohani, at least six more militants have been injured in the assault on a checkpoint in Nangarhar province Sunday. No officers were wounded in the attack

Afghanistan is suffering from the activity of the Taliban, a militant group formed in the 1990s, seeking to establish Sharia law in Afghanistan and Pakistan, and from smaller insurgent groups.

The Taliban has boosted its operations in Afghanistan after NATO ended its International Security Assistance Force (ISAF) mission in December 2014.
