Reports of civilian killings in Farah are false

FARAH, Jul. 12 – Some media outlets have published reports that Mujahideen have killed civilians travelers in Farah province. We categorically reject these claims as those who were killed by Mujahideen were not ordinary civilians but were active ANP and ALP personnel which were arrested based on accurate intelligence information some of which were killed while fleeing and some are still under arrest of Mujahideen.
According to details, Mujahideen captivated 14 ANA and Abakis troops including an infamous Arbaki commander – Muhammad Esa – while a search operation in Shamalgah area of the Farah city on Monday with valid documents and proofs. 7 of these troops were killed while they tried to escape and the rest 7 were handed over to the judicial commission of Islamic Emirate.
