| 2015-10-17 |
| [Tolo News] Security officials in Kunduz say a heavy clash is ongoing against the Taliban in Chahardara district in the northern province and that Lions of Islam are using people's houses to hide in. TOLOnews news hound, Wali Arian who was with commando troops during the battle, said they were ambushed by the Taliban in the area and that the murderous Moslems have turned civilian houses into strongholds - which enables them to clash with security forces from the relative security of these buildings, thereby extending the shootouts. "Their [the Taliban's] main base is in Chahardara and Dashte Archi districts which are near the city therefore they [the hard boys] do not want to lose their strongholds easily." "We came here [areas near Chahardara] at night and it was difficult to see it from the chopper therefore the battle lasted longer," he added. |
