| [Tolo News] Three Afghan non-combatants were killed in a clash with a group of gunnies, described as "illegal militia", in northern Parwan province on Monday, local officials said. The incident happened after Afghan cops launched a military operation in the province to clear the gunnies and gangs from in the province, the 202 Shamshad police zone spokesperson told TOLOnews. "During the operation, the illegal militia rubbed out three civilians. One person has been placed in long-term storage Don't shoot, coppers! I'm comin' out! over the case," he said. But residents of the province told TOLOnews that the security forces "have not yet placed in long-term storage Don't shoot, coppers! I'm comin' out! the illegal militia group." The province, north of Kabul, has seen a rise in activities of gangs, according to locals. It comes as politicians raised concerns on Monday at the growth of gangs in the country, including those which are pro-government, after a clash between residents and local militia in Kunduz turned deadly on Sunday. Illegal gangs may pose a major threat to the security of Afghanistan, speaker of the Parliament Abdul Raouf Ibrahimi said in Monday's sitting session. |
