takharTALUQAN, Afghanistan, Feb. 11 (Xinhua) — A Taliban key commander Mir Wali is among eight militants who were killed in Darqad district of Afghan northern Takhar province on Sunday, as cleanup operation continues in the restive district, police spokesman in the province, Abdul Khalil Asir said.

“The security forces in crackdown against Taliban rebels attacked several villages including Basir Khil, the stronghold of Taliban in Darqad district, and killed eight insurgents including Taliban notorious commander Mir Wali and his lieutenant Qari Sefat on Sunday morning,” Asir told Xinhua.

More than a dozen militants sustained injuries in the ongoing operations which started on Thursday, the official said.

Mir Wali had served as a military commander of the Taliban group in the northern Takhar province and his physical elimination could serve as a major blow to the insurgent group, the official said.

Taliban militants are yet to make comment.

    Arrogantly and uncontrollably, the vicious cycle of death will persist; – the regular innocent folks would be paying for international war criminals and their stooges from inside and outside the country.
    .
    -and the weird neighboring countries will continue wrangling and irrationally rationalize it all according to the scripts of hr bullying distant powers.
    .
    It is called enjoying the profits off created bonanza in the midst.

    They minions could, at least, collectively raise a morally civilized voice of concern to ask for a simple restraint to the extreme savageries- they won’t even do that.
    .
    Why would they want to give up on good some amount of direct or indirect rations and free payments- they are all addicted.
