Taliban Local officials in Logar say that unidentified individuals have killed four members of a family, including a woman, in the province.
Taliban security officials in Logar confirmed on Monday, April 27, that the incident took place in the “Hisarak” area of Pul-e-Alam, the provincial capital.
In this incident, a woman, a 60-year-old man, a man aged around 33, and a teenager of about 13 years old were killed.
The motive behind the killings and the perpetrators have not yet been identified.
The Taliban have said that several suspects have been arrested in connection with the incident.
This comes as mysterious killings and armed robberies have increased in recent days.
Unknown gunmen killed a tribal elder in Sar-e-Pul province yesterday, shortly after he was released from a Taliban prison.
Earlier, another tribal elder had also been killed by unknown individuals in the city of Sheberghan in Jawzjan province.
The rise in criminal activity has strongly put the Taliban’s claims of ensuring security into question.
