Gen. Dostum’s convoy of guards ambushed by Taliban
 [Khaama (Afghanistan)] The convoy of Security guards of the first 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... was ambushed by the Talibs in north of the country. According to local officials in Jawzjan province, the incident took place in the vicinity of Khwajah Dokoh district. Provincial police chief Gen. Khwajah Rahmatullah Turkistani said a brief clash took place between the two sides but no casualties were incurred to the security forces and guards of Dostum. He said there are no reports regarding the casualties of the Death Eaters during the clash. According to Gen. Turkistani, no dead body of the Death Eaters was left in the area and only some blood stains could be seen in the scene of the clash. The anti-government armed Death Eater groups including the Talibs have not commented regarding the incident so far. Jawzjan is among the relatively volatile provinces in northern Afghanistan where the anti-government armed Death Eater groups are actively operating in a number of its districts.
