12 Taliban Mine Makers Killed In Faryab Province
[Tolo News] At least 12 Taliban mine makers were killed in northern Faryab province on Tuesday night while they were making mines, provincial officials said.

"At least 12 cut-throats were killed including two Taliban capos in a mine blast in Ghormach district of Faryab and six others were maimed in the blast," Lal Mohammad Ahmadzai, a front man for 303 Pamir Zone told TOLOnews on Wednesday.

The incident happened while they were making mines in a house, he added.

Insurgents use improvised bombs to target Afghan and foreign forces in the country and most of the victims are often civilians.

Militants are active in most villages in this province and Afghan forces have increased their military operations to wipe them out.
