| [Khaama (Afghanistan)] Local officials in Herat ...a venerable old Persian-speaking city in western Afghanistan, populated mostly by Tadjiks, which is why it's not as blood-soaked as areas controlled by Pashtuns... province are saying at least three Iranians have been locked away Drop the rod and step away witcher hands up! by the Afghan police over terror charges. An official in the counter-terrorism directorate Fazal-ur-Rehman Khadem said the three Iranians were arrested as they were operating in the province to carry out liquidation of the individuals. No further details were given regarding the possible target of the individuals. However, some people are alive only because it's illegal to kill them... Khadem said the men were initially claiming that they are residents of Afghanistan but further investigations revealed that they were Iranian nationals. He said the men have not confessed to their crime so far but preliminary investigations suggest that the men are already involved in several murders in this province. According to Khamem, the apprehension of the Iranian men shows that the outsiders are directly involved in the growing instability and violence in the country. This comes as reports emerged late last year suggesting that Iran is supporting the Taliban group to counter the growing ISIS threats in the region. |
