"Holyman Allah's Martyr?" How appropriate.
A front man for the 20th Pamir Division in Northeastern parts of the country Nazar Mohammad Ghiasi said the operations were conducted in Kunduz city, Qala-e-Zal, and Khanabad districts.
He said at least 17 Taliban turbans were killed during the operations and 15 others were maimed.
Ghiasi further added that Mawlavi Shahidullah was one of the prominent leaders of the Taliban in Kunduz province who had a major role in the destructive activities.
The Taliban turbans group has not commented regarding the report so far.
Kunduz is among the relatively volatile provinces in northern Afghanistan where the Taliban turbans are actively operating in its various districts and often carry out insurgency activities.
The Afghan cops are busy conducting counter-terrorism operations in various restive districts of Kunduz, including the strategic Kunduz city as the Taliban turbans are attempting to expand their insurgency in this key province.
