2018-07-24
[Khaama Press] The shadow governor of the Taliban
...the Pashtun equivalent of men...
group for Kapisa province was killed along with another senior Taliban leader in Northeastern Kapisa province of Afghanistan.

The Security Chief of Kapisa province Mohammad Hakim Azimi confiremd that the shadow governor of the group Nasim Mushfiq was killed during an Arclight airstrike conducted in Tagab district earlier today.

He said the shadow district governor of Tagab Ehsanullah was also killed in the airstrike conducted based on intelligence tip off.

Azimi further added that the two senior Taliban leaders had participated in a meeting of the Talibs when they came under airstrike.

According to Azimi, the foreign forces based in Afghanistan had also participated in the operation.

Several other Talibs were also killed during the airstrike, Azimi said. However,
a clean conscience makes a soft pillow...
he did not disclose further information regarding the exact number of the turbans killed in the airstrike.

The anti-government armed myrmidon groups including Talibs have not commented regarding the report so far.

Kapisa is among the relatively calm provinces in Northeastern parts of the country but the security situation of the province has started to deteriorate recently amid ongoing efforts by the turbans to expand their insurgency.
