Government officials said 14 members of the militia were killed and several civilians were maimed during festivities in the western province of Herat

Abdul Ahad Walizada, a front man for Heart police, said the 14 men were killed in Rubat-e-Sangi district of Herat after a large number of Taliban fighters stormed security checkpoints in the Chahardara area.
