| [Iran Press TV] Tajikistan's security forces have killed three beturbanned goons who were trained in Afghanistan, an Interior Ministry official says. "The killed forces of Evil are Tajik nationals who trained in terrorist camps and al-Qaeda bases in Afghanistan," Interior Ministry front man Makhmadullo Asadulloyev said. The incident took place about 200 kilometers east of the capital Dushanbe on Sunday, AFP reported. Last September, at least 23 Tajik soldiers were killed in the eastern region during clashes between the beturbanned goons and the Tajik security forces, and 30 police officers were killed in a bomb attack in the north, the Interior Ministry official added. Tajikistan, the poorest state to emerge from the collapse of the Soviet Union nearly two decades ago, has been wracked by violence over the past two months. |
