Taliban Attack Kill Two ANA Soldiers in Herat
2014-09-23
[Tolo News] The Taliban killed two Afghan National Army (ANA) soldiers and took 13 others in an attack on a military outpost in Western Heart province on Sunday night, local officials said on Monday.

According to Najeebullah Najeebi, the front man for Zafar Military Corps 207, the incident took place last night in Kishk-e-Rabat Sangi district of the province. There are some reports claiming that the soldiers joined the forces of Evil by their own will.

"A delegation has been sent to the area to investigate the matter," Najeebi added. "We will find out whether the soldiers were taken captive or if they left themselves."

Kishk-e-Rabat Sangi is one of the most insecure districts 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...
