| [TOLONEWS] Speaking in the northern city of Mazar-e-Sharif at a meeting to discuss Operation Oqab in vulnerable areas of northern Afghanistan, Gen Murad Ali Murad said the security threats were growing in the country's north. "They are making an effort to expand the current situation in the north of Afghanistan but the minds of the people of Afghanistan who cooperate with Afghan cops are not ready to accept this matter," he said. Operation Oqab, which aims to eradicate gun-hung tough guys from the less secure areas in the north, began last week with the support of international forces. The commander of army unit 209 Shaheen said that the intelligence of neighbouring countries were behind the increased bad boy activity. "Some come with their masters and the intelligence of foreign countries to risk the lives of our people. This is our duty, as Afghan cops, to provide security wherever it would be," said Zalmai Weesa, commander of national army's unit of 209 Shaheen. |
