The Taliban Attacks Top American General in Afghanistan

Description

According to Business Insider, Gen. Scott Miller, the top US and NATO commander in Afghanistan, on Thursday narrowly escaped a bold, deadly insider attack the Taliban claimed responsibility for. Miller at one point drew his sidearm during the attack, but did not fire, according to CNN. The attack took place in Kandahar, and led to the death of Gen. Abdul Raziq, a powerful Afghan police chief. Several other Afghan police and officials were killed or wounded, and three Americans were wounded in the incident as well. The assailant was reportedly killed in the firefight.
