“The brutal enemies of Afghanistan attacked a village bazaar. They killed five local police,” Abdul Satar Barez, the Faryab deputy governor, told AFP.
“When we received reports about the incident we sent reinforcements. Twenty-five Taliban including Mullah Yaar Mohammad, their shadow governor for Faryab, were killed,” Barez said.
The Taliban are traditionally active in southern and eastern parts of Afghanistan. But in recent years the militants have infiltrated previously peaceful parts such as the northern provinces.
Barez said the death of the Taliban shadow governor had dealt the insurgents in his region a major blow.
