| [Khaama (Afghanistan)] The National Directorate of Security ...the Afghan national intel agency... (NDS) has locked away Please don't kill me! two key Taliban capos during separate operations in the capital Kabul. A statement issued by the NDS states that their personnel arrested Mullah Wazir son of Juma Khan from the jurisdiction of 16th police headquarters and Hikmatullah alias Sangari son of Ghulam Ali from the jurisdiction of 8th police district of Kabul city. According to NDS Mullah Wazir was the military commander of Taliban for Ashmakash District of Takhar province and Sangari was involved in terrorist activities in Pashtun-infested Logar, Maidan Wardak and Kabul provinces. NDS statement further states that Mullah Wazir was actively involved in the terrorist activities in Takhar province and Sangari in Pashtun-infested Logar, Maidan Wardak and Kabul provinces but it is not specified whether Sangari had played any role in last month's deadly attack on Pashtun-infested Logar police headquarters that left at least 20 soldiers dead. The statement does not contain information about the exact date or location of the arrests but NDS statements are usually issued after recent achievements. National Directorate of Security has some good achievements during recent months, best examples of which are the arrest of Mafia leaders Habib Estalif and Rais Khudaidad in Kabul, who were wanted in several cases of killing, abduction and robberies. Both of them were later hanged to death for their crimes in Kabul. |
