Taliban insurgency shows signs of enduring strength
Article Abstract:
The Taliban insurgency is directed from strong-holds across the border in Pakistan that include older Taliban fighters with experience of former campaigns, younger recruits and a small number of foreign fighters. A coalition expert believes that the commanders based in these cities use deputies to communicate with mid-level commanders in Afghanistan, who typically control 50 to 100 fighters, while smaller cells of 10 to 15 operate more independently.
