It looks like FID is working (from the article):
Within minutes, hundreds of Afghan commandos, soldiers and police surrounded Pashtunistan Square and attacked. Some of the Afghan fighters were part of specially formed antiterrorism squads. Monday’s gun battle was notable for the absence of American soldiers. A small group of special forces fighters from New Zealand were the only Western soldiers on the scene.
One group of Afghan commandos said they had come right from a training class.
“We were going through drills when we got the word,” said Bawahuddin, a young member of an antiterrorism squad, standing behind a wall as he prepared to move in. Bawahuddin flashed a thumbs up sign. “We’re ready — we’re ready.”
And then his unit got the word — “Go now, go now!” — and the men began to move. And Bawahuddin’s eyes flashed with fear.
“Either we are going to kill them, or they are going to kill us,” said Saifullah Serhabi, a commando on the edge of the fight.
