6 Taliban militants killed while transporting suicide vests in Badghis



At least six Taliban militants were killed following an explosion inside a car while they were transporting suicide bombing vests.

The incident took place in Badghis province in western part of the country, local officials said Thursday.

The officials further added that the Taliban militants were looking to use the suicide bombing vests for a coordinated attack on Afghan security forces.

Provincial police chief Mohammad Qayum Angar said the militants were transporting the suicide vests inside a car from Herat province to Bala Morghab district of Badghis.

The Taliban militants group has not commented regarding the report so far.

Badghis is among the relatively volatile provinces in western part of the country where anti-government armed militants are actively operating in a number of its districts and often carry out insurgency activities.

The Taliban militants managed to take control of Jawand district in Badghis province earlier this week but the Afghan security forces retook the control of the district following an operation.

This comes as the Taliban militants recently launched the group’s summer offensive and since then the militants have staged numerous attacks across the country.

At least fourteen people were killed after a group of Taliban militants attacked a guesthouse in capital Kabul last night.
