Could it be that the Taliban are going to increase op's due to the Iraq hand-over?
Sanc'.

It could also be related to the recent killing and beheading of 2 Afghans by the Taliban, and the subsequent retaliation by the ANA on 4 Taliban. Maybe it is a sign of things to come; an increase in hostilities.

I'm surprised that the convoy was not escorted by troops.
