| [Khaama (Afghanistan)] Eight Afghan soldiers have embraced martyrdom in an Death Eater ambush in northeastern Takhar province. Officials confirm the ambushes in Khwaja Ghar District this morning. Sunatullah Taimor, front man for the acting governor of Takhar province confirmed the attack. He said that coppers were on their way from Dasht-e-Arche district to Khwaja Ghar District when they came under Taliban ambush in the jurisdiction of Khwaja Ghar District and. He added that when Taliban ambushed coppers a shootout erupted between the two sides which lasted for about four hours. He added that during the shootout four police men embraced martyrdom and two gunnies killed. He further said that four other coppers were detained by the Taliban who were killed after their weapons were taken from them. Taliban turbans have not commented on the report at this time. Although, compare to past years 2015 started with more hopes for Afghans due to the reports that Taliban turbans are ending their over decade long insurgency and making a peace deal with government but this year too proved to be one of the deadly year for Afghan forces. In one deadly attack that took place in Pashtun-infested Logar province last month, at least 20 Afghan soldiers bit the dust. |
