The Taliban earlier released a video showing their fighters wearing stolen US-made military gear, including assault rifles and sophisticated tactical radio, several reports said.
The video showed Taliban fighters wielding M4 and M-16 assault rifles, wearing bulletproof vests and helmets with night vision goggles. The Badri 313 Brigade is reportedly highly trained and equipped with state-of-the-art military equipment.
