[ColonelCassad] After the establishment of a Sharia court in Helmand province (Gereshk district), the first death sentence was passed.
A Taliban Sharia court sentenced two kidnappers to public execution by hanging.
According to the Sharia court, stealing children from Muslims is punishable by death. Earlier, the Taliban leadership has already stated that it intends to establish a "strong Islamic system" in Afghanistan.
The execution took place in the presence of the local population.
A month ago, there were soldiers at an abandoned Afghan army stronghold. Before that, Italian paratroopers had been there from time to time.
Interestingly, according to statements by the Afghan military during the battles On July 26, a Pakistani military intelligence officer who coordinated the actions of Taliban militias in Paktia and Logar provinces was killed.
Pakistani Lieutenant Colonel Jawad was eliminated by Afghan army special forces.
| A Pakistani lieutenant colonel? How very interesting. The Afghan special forces are to be congratulated. |
PS. After yesterday's air strikes by the US Air Force, the Taliban said that if this is so, then they are starting to occupy the major cities of Afghanistan, although the de facto assault on Herat and Lashkar Gah was going on even before the intensive strikes of the US Air Force on July 30.
Street fighting continues in Lashkar Gah. In Herat, so far, battles are taking place on the outskirts of the city.
During yesterday's battles, the commander of the 1st Army Brigade was killed and the troops in the city, according to local reports, are not in the best condition.
Meanwhile, the Taliban captured the mansion of Ismail Khan
| ... Mohammad Ismail Khan is one of the Northern Alliance/Jamiat-e Islami warlords. The Tajik from Herat was an Afghan National Army captain under the Communists, mujahideen commander against the Soviets, twice governor of Herat province — first for the mujahideen, then after the Taliban were defeated — and finally Hamid Karzai’s Minister of Energy and Water. He no doubt expected that at 75 he would be sitting back and enjoying less active maneuvers as an elder statesman. Instead he stood up a local unit of the People's Resistance® Front, with plans to be formidable... |
on the outskirts of Herat and ridiculed him for leaving his house and running away from them like Dostum.
Ismail Khan replies that he will show the Taliban again and they will be able to take Herat.
August in Afghanistan will be very hot.
| The view from Afghanistan: |
Taliban’s mass attacks on four provincial capitals repelled
[KhaamaPress] Afghan National Defense and Security Forces have pushed back mass attacks on the capital cities of Herat
...a venerable old Persian-speaking city in western Afghanistan, populated mostly by Tadjiks, which is why it's not as blood-soaked as areas controlled by Pashtuns...
, Helmand
...an Afghan province populated mostly by Pashtuns, adjacent to Injun country in Pak Balochistan...
, Takhar, and Kandahar provinces on Friday.
Friday was one of the busiest and bloodiest days for ANDSF and the Taliban
...the Pashtun equivalent of men...
in the past month.
The Taliban fighters on Friday entered the western city of Herat province and launched attacks on Afghan government forces’ outposts inside the city. They had besieged the airport and a guard-Afghan police member- of UN’s compound in the city was killed.
Afghanistan Interior Ministry said that the ANDSF launched operations during which the attacks were pushed back and the district of Guzara was taken back from the Taliban.

 ...KABOOM! ...
s are too reported to be conducted in support of Afghan government forces in western Herat province bordering Iran.
The Taliban have also launched an attack on the center of Helmand province-Lashkargah- but local officials have assured the people of pushing back the attacks by the Taliban.
On the other hand, Kandahar city also witnessed heavy conflicts between the ANDSF and the Taliban as the province’s majority districts are under the control of the Taliban.
Taloqan city, the thriving provincial capital of Takhar province was too a battlefield between the warring sides and the Afghan defense ministry claimed to have inflicted heavy casualties to the Taliban fighters as the former driven the latter from the city.
Ministry of Defense has said that five districts of the Nijrab district of Kapisa province were also cleared of the Taliban and claims to have killed 24 Taliban fighters and maimed 14 more.
