[ToloNews] Security officials said the Khak-e-Jabar district in the southwest of Kabul has been cleared of the Taliban

, but the group poses threats to security forces by random attacks.

The bandidos holy warriors recently captured some remote parts of the district that are around 48 kilometers from the city of Kabul. The Taliban infiltrated into the district from Nangarhar
The unfortunate Afghan province located adjacent to Mohmand, Kurram, and Khyber Agencies. The capital is Jalalabad. The province was the fief of Younus Khalis after the Soviets departed and one of his sons is the current provincial Taliban commander. Nangarhar is Haqqani country..
through mountainous areas and also threatened the security of Pashtun-infested Logar province as well as Surobi and Musahi districts of Kabul, according to security officials.

TOLOnews’ Anisa Shaheed accompanied by security forces this week visited Khwajakhil outpost in Chakari district in Khak-e-Jabar district that was under Taliban control a year ago. Now, it is the last outpost of the Afghan forces in the district.

"They were here. We established these outposts here and they escaped," Shir Mohammad Sangaryar, commander of an army in the province.

Khak-e-Jabar district police chief Noor Rahman Sarjang said the Afghan forces conducted an operation in Surobi district—in Khak-e-Jabar’s neighboring—that reduced attacks by the group on his district.

"Sometimes they come through the Wochtangi area, they come from Surobi and attack our outpost," Sarjang said.

Sahib Gul, a resident of the village, recalled "improper" treatment by the Taliban when they had it under their influence.

"My two sons were working in Kabul, but they could not come to their hometown due to the threats," Sahib Gul said.

The residents as well as the police chief of the district said the Taliban established a court in Chakari district during their rule in the area where they trialed "suspects" and that even now, they make contacts with tribal elders and ask them to give them their part from some development projects that are implemented in the village.

"They killed soldiers and issued orders from this court," said Hasibllah Chakari, a policeman in Khak-e-Jabar.

The district has an estimated population of 15,000, according to government figures. Some army soldiers in Khwajakhil outpost said they recently witnessed heavy festivities against the Taliban.

"The Taliban’s place is not clear. They hide behind hills or anywhere else, they attack and then they escape," said Nazif Hashimi, an army commander in Khak-e-Jabar.

Violence has increased in the country as the peace negotiations are underway in Doha. The high level of violence was condemned by the US charge de affaires and EU mission in Afghanistan among other diplomatic offices in Kabul. The country has witnessed two huge explosions—in Nangarhar and Laghman
...Afghan province with a population of about 445,600, which is multi-ethnic and mostly a rural society. During the invasions of Alexander the Great, the area was known as Lampaka, wich is apparently Olde Macedonian for Laghman.The city of Mihtarlam serves as the bucolic capital of the province. The population is half Pashtun, the remainder Tadjik and Pashai. It had a repution for great wealth until it was conquered in the tenth century by Abu Mansur Sabuktigin.
He conquered it and set fire to the places in its vicinity which were inhabited by infidels, and demolishing the idol-temples, he established Islam in them, He marched and captured other cities and killed the polluted wretches, destroying the idolatrous and gratifying the Musulmans. After wounding and killing beyond all measure, his hands and those of his friends became cold in counting the value of the plundered property.
After that it was mostly notable for the production of dirt, rocks, and holy men...
—in the last two days that has left dozens killed and maimed, including women and kiddies.
