| [Khaama (Afghanistan)] The Talibs launched coordinated attack on a number of security check posts in eastern Kunar province ... which is right down the road from Chitral. Kunar is Haqqani country..... of Afghanistan. According to local security officials, the attack was launched on security check posts in Marwara district by hundreds of Talibs. Provincial police chief Abdul Habib Syed Khel said additional forces were deployed to the area after the security forces made tactical retreat from a number of check posts. There are no reports regarding the casualties incurred to the security forces or civilians as a result of the attack. However, those who apply themselves too closely to little things often become incapable of great things... the provincial public health officials said at least 33 people injured during the festivities were taken to hospital for treatment. The officials further added that a civilian was also killed during the shootout. Kunar is among the volatile provinces in eastern Afghanistan where anti-government armed Lion of Islam groups are actively operating and frequently carry out insurgency activities. |
