US-Afghan Raid Rescues Abducted Son of Former Pakistan PM Yusuf Raza Gilani
http://abcnews.go.com/International/wireStory/pakistan-us-afghan-raid-rescues-son-pakistani-pm-39001568
"U.S. and Afghan forces conducting a raid Tuesday against Islamic militants unexpectedly found and rescued the son of a former Pakistani prime minister who had been abducted three years ago, officials said." The raid took place in the Gayan district of Paktika province, Zafar Hashemi, a spokesman for Afghan President Ashraf Ghani, told The Associated Press.
The raid was conducted under the authority of the U.S. anti-terrorist mission in Afghanistan, Operation Freedom's Sentinel, according to the U.S. military in Afghanistan.
So the mission has a name.
It's probably fighting season again, which potentially means renewed offensives by Taliban, possibly al Qaida and/or Daesh affiliates.
