"One of the incidents happened in Kandahar-Uruzgan highway in which Taliban opened fire on security forces convoy in which we some were maimed and one was martyred," he said. "Another attack by Taliban happened on Shaheed Amrullah Base in Tarinkot city, the center of Uruzgan, in which one soldier was martyred and one was maimed."
Meanwhile,
...back at the Alamo, Davy was counting their remaining cannon balls and not liking the results...
one army soldier was killed and three more were maimed in a roadside kaboom blast in Tagab district, Kapisa province, at around 11:30 am on Friday, the provincial police front man Shayiq Shorish said. He said the blast was followed by a shootout between "army forces and Taliban."
"These violations have happened in several areas by groups that operate under Taliban command because they do not obey their leader in action and this indicates Taliban’s weakness," Defense Ministry front man Rohullah Ahmadzai said.
A Taliban front man Zabihullah Mujahid said that the allegations by the government were baseless.
The ceasefire was started on Thursday and will end on Saturday. Calls have grown on Taliban by the international community, Afghan politicians and the people to extend the ceasefire after Eid al-Fitr.
But the first day of ceasefire witnessed two blasts in Kandahar and Kunduz in which nine people were killed.
On Friday, the second day of the ceasefire, at least 12 people were killed and 15 more were maimed in a kaboom inside a mosque in Shakar Dara district north of Kabul, according to a statement by Kabul police.
The blast happened at Haji Bakhshi Mosque in Qala-e-Murad Bek area in Shakardara district of Kabul during Friday prayer, police said.
Police said that Mufti Numan, the imam of the mosque, was also killed in the earth-shattering kaboom.
No group so far has grabbed credit for the earth-shattering kaboom.
Taliban in a statement denied involvement in the attack.
SURVIVORS RECALL ORDEAL
"We were busy in the prayers when the earth-shattering kaboom happened," a survivor Ashiqullah said. "The target was the imam himself."
"They are the enemies of religious scholars. These infidels do not bear mercy even on the people and the religious scholars," said Mir Agha, an eyewitness.
"They can destroy Islam through committing such acts," said Mawlana Abdul Saboor, a religious scholar.
The incident happened few days after multiple blasts near a girls’ school in western Kabul that left over 80 people dead and 150 more maimed.
Taliban denied involvement in both attacks.
"There were large crowds of Moslems. I was also there in the row. A huge blast occurred and people dispersed around," said a survivor of the mosque attack.
"The misery of our nation is that we do not know our foe and friends," said Farid, a Kabul resident.
