| 5 Talibunnies die in Kandahar raid |
| 2016-04-02 |
| At least five militants were killed during a raid by the Afghan security forces in southern Kandahar province of Afghanistan. The Ministry of Defense (MoD) said at least 10 militants were also wounded during the raid conducted in Ghorak district. The anti-government armed militant groups including the Taliban insurgents have not commented regarding the report so far. Kandahar is the birth place of the Taliban insurgents however the Afghan security forces have managed to maintain security and stability in this province during the past several months. However, the anti-government armed militants have been trying to spread violence by attempting to carry out coordinated attacks. At least 15 Taliban insurgents were arrested by the Afghan intelligence operatives late last month as they were planning coordinating suicide attacks in this province. This comes as the security situation in the southern provinces has sharply deteriorated during the recent months, mainly in Kandahar’s neighboring Helmand province. At least five incidents involving terrorist attacks have been reported in this province since the beginning of the month which involves two insider attacks and a coordinated attack that left a senior army general dead. The deputy commander of 205th Atal Corps of the Afghan National Army General Khan Agha Achekzai was killed after a group of militants attacked him near a guesthouse late last month. |
