KABUL: (MEP) – At least sex Taliban affiliated IED planters were killed in their own IED explosion in Arghistaan district of southern Kandahar province, an official said Saturday.
Militants linked individuals trying to plant IEDs on the Haday Ghra area in Arghistan and elsewhere in Panjwayee to target Afghan National Security Forces last night, said governor spokesperson, Jawid Faisal adding.
But they became the victims of their own-being planted explosives before targeting the troops, said Faisal.
“Taliban are recently paying more attention to planting IEDs on roads to harm the Afghan National Security Forces but the result is opposite and most victims of such explosions are innocent civilians”, the source said.
