| [Khaama (Afghanistan)] The Taliban Lions of Islam launched an attack on Salang tunnel pass, a key pass which connects Kabul ...the capital of Afghanistan. Home to continuous fighting from 1992 to 1996 between the forces of would-be strongman and Pak ISI/Jamaat-e-Islami sock puppet Gulbuddin Hekmayar and the Northern Alliance, a period which won Hek the title Most Evil Man in the Worldand didn't do much for the reputations of the Northern Alliance guys either.... with the northern provinces of the country. The officials said the attack was launched by a group of around 20 Taliban Lions of Islam who came to the area from the northern Parwan province. The officials further added that the Lions of Islam fled back to Shenwari district after the Afghan forces responded to their fire. According to the officials, at least one civilian was maimed in the attack and there are no other reports of casualties. The Talibs group has not commented regarding the report so far. This comes as the Taliban Lions of Islam launched a similar attack that led to the blockage of Salang tunnel pass nearly a year ago. The attack was launched on Southern part of Salang pass late in July last year which triggered shootout between the Afghan cops and the assailants. |
