US air power kills 200 Taliban in fight for Ghazni in Afghanistan

Military.com:

U.S. Air Force fighters and Army helicopter gunships have attacked and killed more than 220 Taliban forces in Ghazni over the past several days after militants launched a massive attack on the Afghan city less than 100 miles from Kabul.

"Ghazni City remains under Afghan government control," Lt. Col. Martin O'Donnell, a spokesman for Operation Resolute Support and U.S. Forces Afghanistan, told Military.com on Tuesday.

Afghan forces are conducting clearing operations in the city, but hundreds of civilians have fled, trying to escape the fierce fighting, The Associated Press reported Tuesday.

"The Afghan National Army's 203rd Corps, the Afghan National Police's 303rd Zone and Afghan Special Security Forces are rooting out the remnants of the Taliban within the city," O'Donnell said. "What we observed, as these Afghan-led operations drove a large portion of Taliban from the city over the last day or so, was the retreating Taliban attacking the more vulnerable surrounding districts, which Afghan forces are reinforcing."

O'Donnell said the Taliban who remain in Ghazni "do not pose a threat to the city's collapse ... however, the Taliban who have hidden themselves amongst the Afghan populace do pose a threat to the civilian population, who were terrorized and harassed."

Whenever the Taliban concentrate for an assault they become vulnerable to air attacks.  The Taliban has no defense for the attack helicopters and the air force precision bombers.
