Taliban Stürmführer Omran killed with 27 fighters in Helmand raids
2016-06-10
[Khaama (Afghanistan)] A commander of the Taliban group identified as Omran has been killed along with his 27 fighters during an operation in southern Helmand
...an Afghan province populated mostly by Pashtuns, adjacent to Injun country in Pak Balochistan...
province.

The Ministry of Defense (MoD) said the operations were jointly conducted by the Afghan cops and with the support of the Afghan Air Force.

According to a statement by MoD, the operations were conducted in Greshk district of Helmand and some weapons and explosives belonging to the Death Eaters were also destroyed.

The statement by MoD further added that five Death Eaters were killed in a separate operation in Sar-e-Hawza district of southeastern Paktika
...which coincidentally borders South Wazoo...
province.

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

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

The Taliban group launched a major attack on various security posts of the Afghan cops late last month but the attacks were repulsed with the deployment of additional forces.
