Jawzjan Police Chief General Rahmatullah Turkistani told TOLOnews that the terrorists’ war against security forces in Jawzjan, Sar-i-Pul and Faryab provinces in the country’s north is being led by a Pakistani general named Sheikh Neda Mohammad.
Turkistani added that the Pakistani general is fighting the war against Afghan security forces with the help of a number of Pakistani and Uzbek militants as well as Afghan Taliban.
“A Pakistani general known as Sheikh Neda Mohammad is leading the war. Now another Pakistani general has joined the war in Qoshtepa [district in Jawzjan]. Taliban is fighting under his command, and they [the commanders] pay their salary and provide them with bread and other facilities,” Turkistani stated.
According to him, Darzab and Qoshtepa districts are under serious security threat, but they will soon implement plans to eliminate insurgents in the areas.
He added that heavy casualties have been inflicted on insurgents during military operations in Jawzjan over the past six months.
Meanwhile, a number of Jawzjan residents spoke out about what they called a relative security threat in Sheberghan city, saying that the threats to other parts of the province should be overcome by government.
“Security in Aqcha district is worsening. It is also bad in Qoshtepa and Khumab districts,” said Raz Mohammad, a resident of Sheberghan city.
“Security forces should increase (troops) in Jawzjan in order to enable them to ensure the safety of the province,” said Mohammad Karim, another resident of the city. www.tolonews.com/en/afghanistan/27056-pakistani-general-leading-war-against-troops-in-northern-provinces
