Three Taliban militants including a group commander were killed as their explosive device exploded prematurely in Dahna-e-Ghori district of the northern Baghlan province on Sunday, a security official Abdul Khalil said Monday to xinhuanet.com.
“Taliban local commander Qari Abid along with two of his men were busy in making a mine to plant on a road in Dahna-e-Ghori and target security forces but the device exploded prematurely killing all the trio on the spot,” Khalil told Xinhua.
Taliban militants who control parts of Dahna-e-Ghori district some 7 km outside provincial capital Pul-e-Khumri haven’t commented on the report.
