An Afghan woman has killed at least 25
Taliban militants to avenge the murder of
her son who was a police officer in western
Farah province.
According to reports, Reza Gul was forced to
pick up arms after her son was shot dead by
Taliban militants in front of her eyes.
Her son was leading a small group of police
forces in a check post located in a village of
Farah province.
She was supported by her daughter and
daughter-in-law during the gun battle which
lasted for almost 7 hours that left at least 25
Taliban militants dead and five others injured.
Sediq Sediq, spokesman for the Ministry of
Interior (MoI) said the armed campaign by
women against the Taliban militants is a
symbol of a major revolution and public
uprising against the group.
The Taliban militants group has not
commented regarding the incident so far.
Farah is among the volatile provinces in
western Afghanistan where anti-government
armed militants are actively operating in its
various districts and frequently carry out
insurgency activities.
