Come ON international news!!

[coRtALoS]

No word still on the Taliban attack in southern Afghanistan that happened around 12 midnight Greenwich Mean Time. Either it's not big news anymore, or EVERY SINGLE news agency is slow as fuck at reporting on something that happened 11 hours ago.

Been watching CNN International, BBC and Al Jazeera. :-/

Since they're not reporting on it, I will with what limited info I know.

The Taliban carried out a moderate-sized offensive this morning around 4:30am my time, in an attempt to knock out a critical company cell site in Kandhar. U.S. and local company security personnel fended off the attack, and we're about to hold a debriefing/damage control meeting.

Here's my way of giving a giant middle finger to all the other news agencies that are sucking hard at covering real news. :trippy:

Probably because no one died or got hurt that there is no news. Fking media.

The only Taliban related news I'm reading so far is the one with Pakistan and "Taliban head must be eliminated". Your news still haven't hit even in the South Asia/Middle East section, let alone the major headlines front page.
