Afghan forces kill 2 militants, arrest 4 in Kabul
A large number of arms and ammunition of the militants were destroyed or captured by the security forces, Mujahid asserted.
KABUL: Security forces in Afghanistan stormed a hideout of armed militants on the northern edge of Kabul city on Wednesday night, killing two and arresting four others, the Taliban-run administration’s chief spokesman Zabihullah Mujahid said Thursday.
“The operation of security forces against hideout of Khawarej ( a term used against Daesh or Islamic State group) in 315 localities of Kabul city last night was over by killing two and arresting four others,” Mujahid said on his Twitter account.
A large number of arms and ammunition of the militants were destroyed or captured by the security forces, Mujahid asserted. The official also noted that the vicious attempt of the militants to kill people had been thwarted.
The religious scholars in their three-day jirga or grand assembly that concluded Saturday described the hardliner and rival Daesh outfit as Khawarej (out of Islam framework) and called upon Afghans not to cooperate with the armed group.
Security officials have repeatedly said that Daesh could not pose a serious security threat and the ruling establishment would thwart all destructive designs chalked out by the rival group.
