Kabul: 8 Killed in Targeted Killings in 10 Days
[ToloNews] Amid a wave of assassinations in the Afghan capital Kabul, an officer from the 111th Capital Division of the Afghan National Army (ANA) was bumped off on Wednesday near his base in Pul-e-Charkhi area which is located east of Kabul.

The officer was on his way home from the mosque.

Also on Wednesday, unknown gunnies shot and killed a retired colonel in PD5 of Kabul.

Statistics show that at least 8 people have been killed in targeted acts of violence in the capital over the past ten days.

According to the Ministry of Interior, 22 military officers have been killed in the country in targeted acts of killing over the past one month. Of the figure, 8 incidents have occurred in Kabul in the past ten days.

"They were standing here when the mullah reached here, they fired at him three times," said Neknam Gul, a resident in the area.

"The situation is critical, poor people are martyred each day," said Rahmatullah Hamza, a resident in the area.

On Wednesday, retired colonel Toofan Tarakai and Hanifullah Khaksar, the former guard for the Badghis police, were killed by unknown gunnies in Kabul.

"There is no security," said Ahmad Sahil Noori, a resident in Kabul.

"The security situation gets worse each day; they kill the people in front of the cop shoppe," said Mohammad Aqa, a resident of Kabul.

This comes two months after the First Vice President Amrullah Saleh announced he is taking responsibility for the security of Kabul for the near future. But residents in the capital city have said that fatal attacks continue.

Gov’t Arrests Hitmen over Ex-Colonel Assassination

[KhaamaPress] Amrullah Saleh, the first vice president, said during the 6 a.m. meeting that the convicted killer of Colonel Abdul Wali Toofan
...there was a deputy police chief of Logar by that name...
had been arrested by the local police.

Saleh indicated, two perpetrators were involved in Wali’s liquidation: one a shooter and the other was a person filming the atrocity.

Among the offenders, the person who was filming the murder being happening was caught and different types of similar files were obtained from his cell phone, Saleh added.

Regarding the group’s targeted liquidations, Saleh said, "With these liquidations, the Taliban
...mindless ferocity in a turban...
wants to make access to information deceivable and want to turn dark the life to the public, they have failed to this day and will continue to fail".

The first vice president added that at the same time, one of the officer to 111th corps was assassinated in the area of PD21.
