The strikes are part of an effort by military and intelligence operatives to try to cripple the Taliban in a stronghold being used to plan attacks against American troops in Afghanistan.
As part of its covert war in the region, the C.I.A. has launched 20 attacks with armed drone aircraft thus far in September, the most ever during a single month, and more than twice the number in a typical month.

My Comment: For the CIA to increase these operations to the level that they are now at (with White House approval) .... this tells me that the terror threat warnings coming from the intelligence community must be scaring the powers that be. They must have good intelligence that is telling them that a major terror plot is in the works.
