- While the Pentagon and White House have maintained a
tight lid on any strategic information coming out of Afghanistan,
Russian military intelligence has been closely monitoring U.S.
activities in the country, claiming that 18 U.S. soldiers were captured
and then executed by the Taliban, reports Geostrategy, the global
intelligence news agency.
-
- All of the soldiers are believed to have been executed
on April 10 after the United States ignored a Taliban and al-Qaida
deadline for the withdrawal of troops from Afghanistan.
-
- No bodies have been recovered.
-
- The Russians also assert, in details confirmed in part
by U.S. officials, that U.S. forces have been mired in a guerrilla war
against determined al-Qaida and Taliban forces.
-
- From Oct. 7, 2001, until September 2002, 152 Americans
were killed in Afghanistan with another 215 wounded, according to the
intelligence data.
-
- The bloodiest battle took place in March 2002 during
Operation Anaconda in the Pactia province in southeastern
Afghanistan.
-
- At least 60 U.S. soldiers, say the Russians, were
killed or wounded in the battle, most of them by mines, light-weapons
and mortar fire.
-
- Russian intelligence claims that after initial gains,
U.S. forces have failed to find or dislodge al-Qaida or Taliban troops
from numerous areas, particularly along the Afghan-Pakistani
border.
-
- The result has been a demoralized U.S. military and
the withdrawal of many troops from combat in an effort to reduce
casualties, the report concluded.
