Local sources in Laghman province report that Taliban fighters have assassinated a former local government police commander known as Mujahid inside his residence.
According to the sources, the incident occurred on Saturday night, July 22, in the village of Ziarat-e Nooralam Sahib, Alingar district of the province.
The sources stated that the Taliban members fled the scene after carrying out the assassination.
Mujahid had served as a local police commander during the previous government in the province, but had no official role after the Taliban regained power.
Local Taliban officials in Laghman have not yet made any statements regarding the incident.
Based on the information from sources, two brothers of Mujahid were also killed by the Taliban during their previous government in Afghanistan.
Despite the Taliban leader’s announcement of a general amnesty, the group’s fighters continue to resort to detaining, torturing, and killing former military personnel after regaining control of Afghanistan.
It was only a few days ago that the Taliban arrested two former military officers who were the main residents of Kapisa province, in Kabul city.
