Despite attacks Taliban gathering strength
Updated
Afghan and British forces in Afghanistan said over the weekend that they'd killed about 100 Taliban fighters who'd mustered for an attack on the capial of Helmand province.
Nato forces clearly saw it as a significant victory but it has a downside. The attempt to enter Lashkar Gah from three directions was so big and well-co-ordinated as to be "virtually unprecedented" in the words of the Brtish military spokesman. Some see it as evidence that the Taliban is actually gathering strength.
