Taliban commander's dead body set on fire in Herat province
[Khaama (Afghanistan)] The dead body of a senior Taliban capo was set on fire by unknown armed individuals in western Herat...a venerable old Persian-speaking city in western Afghanistan, populated mostly by Tadjiks, which is why it's not as blood-soaked as areas controlled by Pashtuns... province of Afghanistan. According to local government officials the incident took place in Shindand district on Friday morning. Shindand district administrative chief Engineer Farahmurz said the Taliban leader was identified as Mullah Nooruddin whose dead body was set on fire by unknown gunnies. Eng. Farahmurz further added that Mullah Noorudin was injured following a shootout with the Afghan cops and departed this vale of tears after he was taken to Pakistain for treatment. He said the dead body of Mullah Noorudin was taken to Shindand district for burial when unknown armed individuals set his dead body on fire. It is yet not clear who was involved behind the act but Shindand district chief said an investigation has been launched in this regard. Posted by: Fred 2015-02-07 |
