Reports emerging from Ghazni province reveal a grim incident involving the Taliban, resulting in the loss of a civilian life and the apprehension of two others.
According to local sources, on Monday, March 25, the Taliban executed a raid in Qala-e Amir Mohammad Khan, located within the fifth security district of Ghazni city. The target of their incursion was purportedly a former member of the People’s Uprising Forces from Jaghori district.
In the wake of this assault, which occurred two nights prior, one individual, identified as Mohammad Ali and hailing from Malistan district, tragically lost his life at the hands of the Taliban. Additionally, the insurgents seized two other individuals, one of whom is a relative of the deceased, for reasons yet to be disclosed.
Among those apprehended is Ahmad Ali, reportedly a former member of the People’s Uprising Forces in Jaghori district during the previous administration. Ali had sought refuge in Pakistan following the collapse of the former government but had recently returned to Afghanistan.
Presently, details regarding the fate of the detainees remain elusive, with no updates available on their status.
As of now, the Taliban have not issued any statement regarding the incident.
This development follows closely on the heels of another Taliban-perpetrated tragedy, where a former army officer of the previous government was slain in Logar province just two days prior.
