A number of mujahideen were reported injured during the attack, but were taken back to base for treatment, along with hi-tech spoils of war. The Taliban say the whole operation was filmed and the video will be soon be made public to prove to the whole world, and especially the American people, "the truth about the Afghan Jihad and the lies about casualties spread by the US government." In a separate incident Saturday, the mujahideen said they shot down an American warplane near Kandahar airport. The Taliban also say that the town of Spin Boldak is still under their control and that all is well. The Taliban has also set up special patrols to pursue and engage the remaining militia who were fleeing to the mountains in the east.
