A provincial council member Bismillah Atash confirmed that clash is underway between the Afghan forces and the assailants. He said the attack has been launched with an aim to bring pressure on the government as the Afghan forces have launched a major operation to clear Dand-e-Ghori area of Baghlan from the Taliban presence. The operations in Dand-e-Ghori further intensified after deputy chief of army staff Gen. Murad Ali Murad assumed the charge of the ongoing operations. Meanwhile, ...back at the revival hall, the pastor had finally been wrestled from the pulpit. Y'got the wrong guy!he yelled just before Sergeant Malone's billy club landed... Atash said the attack by Taliban is not sophisticated and will pose any threat to the provincial city, emphasizing that the Afghan forces will soon repulse the attack. Posted by: Fred 2016-02-02 |
