#3 Just speculation...

Tashkepri is Ingress for Hezib intrest. What? 80 or so miles from sarakhs?

Baghlan is Tajikistan or UzbekinOP point. May be moving around Mazar-e Sharif for obvious reasons.

Qaisar is but a port stoage place.

who knows? Trade, and other trade. Hezib in Iran with opium.

#4 "The local police have not taken any action to curb the clash, but have surrounded the area and will move in after making sure that civilians will not be harmed in the battle, Ahmadzai further said."

Maybe instead of standing idly the local police should be arranging ammunition resupply to both sides.

#5 "A deadly clash between Taliban and Hezb-e Islami fighters has left scores of militants dead in northern Afghanistan."

What's the downside? Not all dead, maybe?

#7 Getting too old for extra butter, Barbara. I'm lucky not to be limited to air-puffed, no salt, packing material.

#8 IIRC PAKISTANI DEFENCE FORUM > PAKISTAN HAS WIPED OUT HALF OF QUETTA SHURA [Mullah Omar's Talib Council].

Mostly via being ARRESTED by PAK Govt forces.
