Infighting Kills 15 Taliban In Herat
[Tolo News] At least 15 Talibs have been killed in infighting 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 on Thursday evening, officials said Friday. An army commander in Herat said that supporters of the Taliban's late leader Mullah Mohammad Omar clashed with supporters of their new leader Mullah Akhtar Mansour in Zer Koh area in Shindand district in Herat. He said at least 15 of the murderous Moslems were killed in the incident. According to him, Taliban fighters in Shindand district have been divided into two parts since the appointment of Mansour as Omar's successor. Posted by: Fred 2015-08-15 |
