Violence Picks Up in Afghanistan

In this article, we see that there has been a recent mass out-break in violence in Afghanistan, mainly targeting police officers. This out-break has been due to an anti-Taliban campaign. There have been multiple car bombings, killing mainly police officers, and injuring civilians. One of the more recent attacks was focused on civilians and at an area where families go to have picnics. It was regarded beforehand as a very peaceful area. This just shows that they are trying to instill terror.
