On Friday Khan announced six other Taleban had been killed in the same area after hundreds of extra security forces were deployed to the desert region following the capture of the district headquarters late Monday. Dozens of rebels overran the headquarters at Garmser town, pushing out 40 police who officials said had been putting up resistance for two weeks. The militants torched the Afghan flag above the building and hoisted that of Jamiat Ulema-e-Islam, officials said. |
