Taliban have rocket-propelled grenades strong enough to kill anyone in 30-ft radius

London, Aug 22 : The NATO troops deployed in Afghanistan have reportedly come across a new Taliban weapon - a rocket-propelled grenade packed with ball bearings, which can kill any number of persons in 30-feet radius with its impact.
The lethal arsenal of around 89 units was found in a Taliban ammo dump in the increasingly violent Afghan region of Khost.
This is said to be worrying the British troops who are not aware about the possible number of such weapons already created by the Taliban to counter the foreign troops attacks on them.
"This is a worrying twist as their weaponry becomes more and more sophisticated. Who knows how many of these rockets are out there?" the Mirror quoted a British military source as saying.
The discovery comes in one of the worst weeks for the 65,000-strong International Security Assistance Force.
According to paper, NATO soldiers have uncovered a cache of 89 of the deadly devices, which spit out hundreds of red-hot pellets on impact. Anyone within 30ft will almost certainly be killed by the grenade, which terrorists call "Type 69 Airburst", added the paper.  Email this story to a friend

Did I miss an r? So sorry I had a hot date down town with a traffic commando. We have our own sarin and mustard plants but you can’t sell Indiana to a terrorist
they’d have to realize what terror is first.
The minor child burn victim upstairs has had scabies for so long that no one remembers how long and here it’s called lifestyle. Permethrin 6% is unheard of in a Dr.s office so we awake at two in the morning to the only child around who knows a muther scabies and wants it out.
Pike Co. is outstanding the people, basic white, all lived the life of the famous KKK and I recall hearing my mother discuss how white my grandpas hood used to stay,“grandma kept everything so white."
I hear theres a specific website in Virginia with a SMILE sign on just waiting to start this all over again. I’m still smiling man that means you lose.
Weaponry, what these boys can do with paraffin and coagulate would knock you down, really! Gotta run it’s only a marker anyway.
