War
on terror
U.S. Special Forces soldiers and
their Afghan allies have undertaken an increasing number of night raids
targeting Taliban and al-Qaida militants, despite Washington formally declaring
an end to combat operations late last year, according to a published report.
The New York Times reports that the
increased raids are partially the result of intelligence seized in October of
last year, when U.S. and Afghan commandos came upon a laptop computer with
files detailing terror operations in Afghanistan and neighboring Pakistan.
Military officials tell the paper that the information in the files could be as
significant as what was found on a computer in Osama bin Laden's Pakistan
compound after the terror leader was killed by Navy SEALs in 2011.
