Key Taliban Commander Killed in Parwan Drone Strike
[Tolo News] A key Taliban...the Pashtun equivalent of men... commander'>Taliban Überstürmbannführer was killed in a foreign troops dronezap in northern Parwan province on Saturday night, local officials said. The strike took place in Ezat Khil area of Jabal Saraj district of the province after Afghan cops launched a ground operation and had foreign troops air support, Mohammad Masoum Farzayee, police chief of Jabal Saraj said. "Troops came from Kabul and they launched a military operation in Ezat Khil and the foreign troops also provided support from the air in which Mullah Agha Gul, a Taliban Überstürmbannführer and one of his fighters, were killed," Farzayee said. Mohammad Asim Asim, the provincial governor rejected the reports of a dronezap in the area but said that ground forces launched the operation against a group of Taliban snuffies in which "two of the snuffies were killed so far." Three security forces were also maimed in the operation, Asim said. However, the difference between stupidity and genius is that genius has its limits... he did not provide further details. The Taliban have not yet commented on the operation. Posted by: Fred 2017-09-05 |
