Washington, Oct 17 : The Taliban’s strength has increased by up to 20-30 percent over the past year, and they were better armed and organized doing complex activities.

“I’m telling you that the enemy did increase from 20 to 30 percent this last year….I’ll tell you that they are doing more complex activities which concerns me greatly,” says Maj. Gen. Jeffrey Schlosser, a top general in-charge of US ground troops in Afghanistan.

In a TV interview to be telecast this Sunday, he said keeping in mind the increased strength of the “enemy”, he had sought reinforcements to fight them out.
