| [Khaama (Afghanistan)] The Afghan defense officials said Saturday that the Taliban leaders even used own family members as human shield in northern Kunduz province to counter the Afghan forces operation as they were planning another attack on Kunduz city. The Ministry of Defense (MoD) front man Dawlat Waziri told news hounds that the Taliban leaders had gathered in the house of their commanders to plan the attack. He said the Afghan special forces launched an operation but faced a strong resistance from the Taliban bully boyz who used the house of one of their commanders located in a residential area. Strongly condemning the use of civilians as shield, even their own family members, Waziri said the defense ministry and government are feeling grief regarding the civilian deaths, even if they are family members of the Taliban group commanders. In the meantime, the Afghan government said a delegation has been formed and will soon visit the area to investigate the deadly incident. At least 30 non-combatants were killed and 25 others were maimed, including women and kiddies during the operation on Thursday. The defense officials said at least 3 soldiers of the Afghan special forces also bit the dust during the operation together with the 2 US special forces.
