FOB Keating attack repulsed

[davidbfpo]

Within The Times report is this, not seen in the US reports on SWJ Blog:

The insurgents seized at least 35 Afghan policemen whose fate last night remained unclear.

I note all the reports refer to two outposts, one ANP and one US Army & ANA? Or were the ANP seized at the mosque? The ANP and ANA elsewhere have used local mosques for Friday prayers (IIRC Korengal Valley) and the attackers swarmed out of the mosque and village. Mmmm.

Not good for "Afghanisation" and recruitment, let alone retention.
