| Kunduz intelligence chief wounded in Taliban ambush |
| 2016-08-11 |
| [Khaama (Afghanistan)] The provincial intelligence chief of the northern Kunduz province of Afghanistan sustained injuries in an ambush by the Talibs earlier today. Security officials in Kunduz have confirmed that Gen. Mohammad Jasim Anwari was ambushed as he was on his way to airport earlier today. The officials further added that Gen. Anwari sustained minor injuries in the attack but the Taliban group claimed that Gen. Anwari was critically maimed. The group in an online statement said Gen. Anwari was shifted to 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.... after he sustained critical wounds in the attack but the officials reject the Taliban claim as baseless. Kunduz is among the relatively volatile provinces in northern Afghanistan which has been witnessing growing instability during the recent months. The Taliban group captured the strategic Kunduz city briefly last year but the Afghan forces recaptured it by launching a major operation. The group launched several attacks by announcing its spring offensive earlier this year but the attacks were successfully repulsed by the Afghan cops. Numerous senior Taliban leaders have been killed or captured in this province since the Afghan forces launched their annual operation to counter the annual spring offensive of the Taliban group. |
