8 Civilians Killed, 9 Injured in Kunduz Clashes
[Tolo News] At least eight non-combatants were killed and nine others were maimed in violent festivities in northern Kunduz province on Sunday, local officials said.

According to the provincial front man Enayatullah Khaliq, the clash was between snuffies and local residents.

According to a witness, the clash was between the local police and residents.

Khaliq rejected the witness' account saying that there were no local police active in Kunduz.

Khaliq told TOLOnews the incident took place this morning after Taliban snuffies kidnapped and killed two residents of the province last night. The bodies of the two residents, Aziz and Jalil, were found in the city.

"This made the residents angry and they rose up against the gangs in the Kanom Kalan area of Kunduz city. Eight non-combatants were killed and nine others were maimed," he said.

More security forces arrived in the area as the clash continued but the security forces took control and the incident is now over, according to Khaliq. Police have starting investigating and they have already placed in long-term storage

officials in Kunduz hospital said that 16 bodies have been carried in the hospital.

According to a witnesses, at around 6:00AM Sunday morning Afghan local police attacked people in the Kanom Kalan area and rubbed out more than 20 civilians.

Khaliq said the witness' account is false because Kunduz only has national police.

"There are no local police active in the area, they are non-government gangs. Afghan national police are trying to surrender all the gangs in the area and take over their arms," he said.
