| [Khaama (Afghanistan)] At least 9 Talibs including the group’s two top leaders were killed during separate festivities with the Afghan cops in southern Uruzgan province. The 205th Atal Corps of the Afghan National Army said the group’s shadow governor Mawlavi Jan Agha and military commission chief Asadullah were among those killed. At least 5 hard boyz were also maimed during the operations and 5 Improvised Explosive Devices (IEDs) were seized and defused, a statement by 205th Atal Corps said. The statement further added that the operations were conducted in Chora, and Khas Uruzgan districts. The Talibs group has not commented regarding the report so far. The Afghan cops have stepped up counter-terrorism operations to suppress the insurgency activities of the terror groups. The security officials are saying the Afghan forces will continue to maintain pressures against the terror groups as they continue to step up attacks against the Afghan forces and civilians. The operations by the Afghan cops are being conducted as part of the Shafaq annual offensive which was launched late in March in response to the growing insurgency activities led by the Taliban group. |
