![]() The Garmser headquarters was invaded by dozens of Taliban late on Monday causing the under strength police force to flee. Afghan and US-led coalition troops entered and secured the town early Wednesday with little resistance. The security forces late Tuesday secured adjoining Naway-i-Barakzayi after its district headquarters was also briefly overrun. The Taliban claimed responsibility for the killing a tribal chief in Helmand's Musa Qala district who was shot dead Thursday by two men on a motorbike, Khan said. |
