2016-05-29
[Khaama (Afghanistan)] At least 2 Taliban group leaders were killed in an Arclight airstrike in northern Sar-e-Pul province of Afghanistan, local officials said.

The Arclight airstrike was carried out in Suzma Qala district of Sar-e-Pul targeting a gathering of the Taliban hard boys.

Provincial governor’s front man Zabiullah Amani said the Taliban faceless myrmidons had gathered to organize a funeral for the group’s chief Mullah Akhtar Mansoor.

He said at least 6 Taliban faceless myrmidons were also maimed during the Arclight airstrike which was carried out in Kata Qala village.

The Talibs group has not commented regarding the report so far.

Sar-e-Pul is among the relatively volatile provinces in northern Afghanistan where the anti-government armed hard boy groups are active in a number of its districts and often carry out insurgency activities.
