6 militants killed, 60 arrested in Afghan commandos night raid in Kunduz
2016-04-29
[Khaama (Afghanistan)] At least 6 Lions of Islam were killed during a night raid conducted by the Afghan commandos in northern Kunduz province of Afghanistan.

The Ministry of Defense (MoD) said at least 60 suspected Lions of Islam were also tossed in the slammer
Yez got nuttin' on me, coppers! Nuttin'!
during the operation.

A statement by MoD said the Lions of Islam were killed as the Afghan commandos were conducting the night raid and came under fire from the myrmidons.

The statement further added that the two key group leaders of the Lions of Islam identified as Qari Zabiullah and Qari Najibullah were among those killed.

The anti-government armed myrmidon groups including the Taliban group have not commented regarding the report so far.

Kunduz is among the volatile provinces in northern Afghanistan where anti-government armed myrmidon groups are actively operating and frequently carry out insurgency activities.

The Afghan National Security Forces arrested a military chief of the Taliban group, Qari Salim, arrested during a special night raid earlier this week.

Qari Salim was a key leader of the Taliban group who played a vital role in the collapse of Kunduz city last year.
