Taliban Destroyed District Building In Baghlan

Taliban militants destroyed the district governor’s building in Baghlan’s Tala Wa Barfak after they controlled the area for two days, local officials confirmed.

The insurgents took documents from the building as well as weapons and vehicles of security forces with them before they were pushed back from the district, the officials claimed.

“They [Taliban] took all documents from the district governor’s building before destroying it,” said Samiuddin Nazer, member of Baghlan Provincial Council.

Officials say the Taliban briefly resisted in Dahan-Kayan village in the district. They were however suppressed by security forces from the air and the ground.

Three security force members were wounded in the fighting.

“The newly appointed police chief and district governors are here and hopefully all offices in the district will resume their activities,” Abbas Tawakuli, executive officer of army regiment in Baghlan said.

Tala Wa Barfak residents said security of the district must be fully ensured because the Taliban fighters want to use the district as a route to cross from south to north.

“I urge government to keep control of the district after it fully is cleared of insurgents,” Hisamuddin, a resident of the district said.
Tala Wa Barfak a population of more than 70,000. It has fallen to the Taliban two times in last two years.
