NATO says its troops have reversed momentum of insurgents’ campaign:
* Taliban say attacks decrease as enemy limiting its presence, movement
KABUL: The Afghan Taliban on Tuesday dismissed NATO figures showing a decrease in insurgent attacks, saying the statistics reflect troop withdrawals and a “cowardly” avoidance of contact.
NATO said the decline in attacks showed that its troops had been able to “reverse the momentum” of the insurgents’ campaign, an interpretation that Taliban “strongly and categorically” denied.
NATO’s latest official figures show attacks on its forces dropped by five percent in the first eight months of this year compared to 2011, but are still running at about 100 a day.
In August alone, attacks decreased by nine percent compared with the same month last year, NATO’s International Security Assistance Force (ISAF) said.
But even without Taliban’s bombastic claims the statistics covering attacks on ISAF forces alone do not paint an overall picture of the state of the war.
