forces. You need to know that your police and soldiers are out there protecting
the Afghan people and sometimes at great costs to themselves.'

and the Corps Commander who coordinated this operation.' Rahimi discussed
several development projects that are upcoming and under way that will improve
the quality of life for Afghan people.
'Direct association between the Taliban and drug dealers,
trafficking, taxing, extorting, selling- they use drugs to fund their
operations,' Rahimi said.

the coordination across the provincial government, the 'MoI and our forces.'

where we can attack the enemy.' Brigadier General Khoshal Sadat: 'the good
leadership, coordination and strong soldiers are why your operations are
successful.'

Afghan National Army Territorial Forces here in Herat. They are strong and an
important part of the security here.'
Rahimi continued, 'it's not about one single person, there
is no individual, but the team is what makes us strong. The success is to the
Herati people.'
