35 Taliban militants killed as Dostum leads operations in Jawzjan
[Khaama (Afghanistan)] At least 35 murderous Moslems were killed and 15 others were maimed in the latest clearance operations led by Vice President General Abdul Rashid Dostum
...ethnic Uzbek warlord who distinguished himself fighting the Soviets and the Taliban. The story that he had a bad guy run over with a tank is an exaggeration. It was an armored personnel carrier...
The Office of the First Vice President in a statement said the main highway connecting Sherbarghan with Sar-e-Pul province was opened during the operations.

The statement further added that 40 villages were cleared as a result of the operations which are lying along the highway.

The operations were launched early on Monday morning with the Afghan Air Force providing close-air support to the Afghan cops.

The highway was considered as one of the volatile highways in the north ahead of the operations, the statement said, adding that the murderous Moslem groups and criminal gangs were involved in destructive activities, robberies and kidnappings on the highway.

Vice President Dostum said security posts will be established in the highway similar as the other regions cleared of the murderous Moslems in a bid to prevent the return of bully boyz in the area.

He said the Taliban group has suffered heavy loss and has been defeated in the battle ground as the Afghan forces continue to chase the remaining murderous Moslems hiding in their safe havens.

The statement by the office of the Vice President said the local residents did not suffer any casualties during the operations.
