KABUL: The Afghan Taliban have announced that they will start their annual spring offensive against the US-led foreign forces in the war-torn country from Monday.
“If the invaders or their internal stooges believe that reducing the number of foreign forces will dampen our fervour, then they are sadly mistaken,” the Afghan Taliban said in a statement on Thursday.
The Afghan Taliban said that attacks during the coming fighting season would target US military bases, diplomatic missions and vehicle convoys.
The statement also warned that Afghan translators, government officials, politicians and judges would be targeted before the US-led NATO mission ends at the end of this year.
