A gun battle between the security forces and Taliban in Afghanistan’s Ghazni province left 15 militants including a key commander dead on Sunday.
“A group of armed Taliban rebels raided a police checkpoint in Jangul area of Abband district late Saturday night triggering a fierce gun-battle which lasted until Sunday morning during which 15 rebels, including their key commander Mullah Alam, were killed,” District Governor Allah Dad Halimi said.
Meanwhile, Zabihullah Mujahid, who claimed to speak for the Taliban outfit, talking to media from an unknown location, confirmed the conflict. However he said only two Taliban militants and six policemen were killed in the crossfire.
