Local sources in Logar have reported the killing of a Taliban commander in the province.
Sources told the Hasht-e Subh Daily on Tuesday, November 10, that Mawlawi Mehrab, the Taliban official in charge of a security outpost, was mysteriously killed last night in the Tangi Waghujan area of the provincial capital.
They added that the Taliban fighter’s body was found near his outpost, bearing signs of physical assault.
According to the sources, the local Taliban commander was originally from Pashtunabad village in Pul-e-Alam, the provincial capital of Logar.
