Spokesman of Taliban fighters, Dr. Muhammad Hanif, phoned Afghan Islamic Press and said, “Two policemen were killed in landmine planted by Taliban in a police post between Garda Serai and Waza Zadran on Khost-Gardez highway.” When Afghan Islamic Press contacted police chief of Paktia, Abdul Hanan Raufi, he rejected Taliban claim of killing two policemen and said no policeman was present in the post at the time of the explosion as police had left the post for their home. |
