Dostum vows revenge for every drop of blood spilled in Kunduz Khaama Press, Oct 13 2016

The First Vice President General Abdul Rashid Dostum vowed revenge for every drop of blood of the Afghan forces and the innocent civilians spilled during the Kunduz clashes.
Speaking to internally displaced people in northern Balkh province, Gen. Dostum said the stooges of Pakistan’s Inter Services Intelligence will pay for the atrocities they committed inthe attack on Kunduz city.
He promised the internally displaced people that they will return to their homes before the start of winter season and vowed that he will visit Kunduz to capture or kill those involved in the attack on Kunduz.
Gen. Dostum left for the northern Faryab province on Tuesday afternoon, hours after the control of Ghormach district fell to Taliban following hours of heavy clashes.
The district fell to Taliban control as the Afghan forces were busy conducting clearance operations in northern Kunduz city where the Taliban insurgents launched a coordinated attack to seize its control.
In the meantime, Gen. Dostum announced on Monday to launch a major military operation in Kunduz as he expressed concerns regarding security gaps in this strategic northern province.
The First Vice President has supervised numerous military operations in some northern provinces including Jawzjan and Faryab provinces.
He escaped numerous attacks and assassination plot as he was accompanying the Afghan security forces during the operations in northern parts of the country.
Gen. Dostum assumed charge of the security operations in Kunduz nearly two weeks ago through the Ministry of Defense Command and Control Center, shortly after the Taliban launched a coordinated attack on Kunduz city.
The Taliban militants have launched numerous attacks on Kunduz city since it was retaken by the Afghan Special Operations Forces earlier in the month of October.
The Taliban insurgents were accused of horrific criminal activities after they seized control of the city, including target killings, rape, kidnappings, use of civilians as shields, looting of public and private properties.
The Independent Human Rights Commission of Afghanistan said at least 50 civilians were killed and over 350 others were wounded.http://www.khaama.com/dostum-vows-revenge-for-every-drop-of-blood-spilled-in-kunduz-02073
