Security Issues

• Talibans Long term goal take over the power
• Priority South, East and West
• Concept 1. Code of Conduct (attack the people of
  the goverment)
• 2. Operation Lesson (ISAF, foreigners)
• 3. Complex Operations (collateral demage)

19
Insurgents Use Of IEDs

• 50 IED incidents, ISAF casualties- 53
• IEDs are simply the insurgents method of
  achieving their short term military and longer
  term political aims.
• Had they access to conventional weapons they
  would use them.
• When ISAF efforts negate the effects of one type
  of IED they will seek alternatives.
• IEDs can be used for spectaculars as well as
  tactical attacks.
