KABUL, May 31 (KUNA) -- Nineteen militants, including a commander, and four
Afghan policemen were killed while four suspected militants were arrested by
the foreign troops in separate clashes and operations in different parts of
Afghanistan on Sunday.
According to Afghan officials, 18 militants were killed during a clash with
NATO and Afghan troops in the country's western province of Farah.
NATO officials in Kabul also confirmed the fighting and the death toll
among the Taliban. A spokesman for the NATO troops said the clash erupted when
militants attacked the joint convoy of Afghan and foreign troops with mortars
in Khak-e-Safed district of Farah province.
Four policemen were killed as militants attack their checkpoint early
Sunday in the same province, said deputy police chief of the province Nabi
Popal.
In a separate clash with Taliban, Afghan police claimed killing a known
commander in the northern province of Kunduz.
Commander Saqibullah was killed and his other colleagues managed to escape
following a firefight in Haqtash district of the province, said senior police
officer in the province Abdul Rahman.
Afghanistan's northern and western zones are known for their comparative
calm while the southern and eastern zones are considered the most volatile
areas in the embattled country.
However, since the start of the current summer season, Taliban militants
are proving their presence in these (northern and western) comparatively
peaceful zones by engaging the Afghan and foreign troops in fighting as well
as carrying out landmine and suicide attacks against them.
A day earlier, governor of Kunduz province and his driver were injured as
his motorcade came under a remote-controlled bomb attack in the neighbouring
province of Takhar, also considered another peaceful area in the northern zone.
Meanwhile, the US-led coalition troops said they had arrested four suspects
during a raid in the southern Helmand province on Sunday.
A statement from the coalition forces Bagram base said the four men were
captured in Nahr-e-Saraj district of Helmand of suspicion of ties to a local
Taliban commander involved in coordinating suicide attacks, moving weapons and
facilitating movement of foreign fighters. (end)
