2016-10-26
[Khaama (Afghanistan)] The Afghan border police forces have suffered casualties in an attack on security posts located along Torkham near Pakistain, the local officials in Nangarhar
The unfortunate Afghan province located adjacent to Mohmand, Kurram, and Khyber Agencies. The capital is Jalalabad. The province was the fief of Younus Khalis after the Soviets departed and one of his sons is the current provincial Taliban commander. Nangarhar is Haqqani country..
said Tuesday.

The provincial governor’s front man in Nangarhar Ataullah Khogyani confirmed the incident took place late on Monday night but he did not disclose further information regarding the casualties of the security forces.

However,
nothing needs reforming like other people's bad habits...
another official in Torkham said at least 8 personnel of the border protection police forces bit the dust in the attack.

The official speaking on the condition of anonymity said some security posts were also briefly captured by the faceless myrmidons but the Afghan forces managed to retake it after a shootout with the Death Eaters.

The anti-government armed Death Eater groups including the Taliban Death Eaters have not commented regarding the incident so far.

Nangarhar is among the relatively peaceful provinces in eastern Afghanistan but the anti-government armed Death Eater groups are actively operating in a number of its remote districts.

The Taliban Death Eaters and faceless myrmidons loyal to the Islamic Stat of Iraq and Syria (ISIS) terrorist group are active in a number of the restive districts of Nangarhar.
