Two Taliban key commanders were among six insurgents who had been killed in the eastern Ghazni province, provincial police chief Aminullah Omarkhil said Saturday.
"It has been confirmed that two Taliban notorious commanders Mawlawi Rashid and Mawlawi Nafiz are among the six rebels who were killed in the air raids against enemies in Gero district on Friday evening," Omarkhil told Xinhua.
Both the said commanders were infamous and their physical elimination could prove a major blow to the Taliban militants and Haqqani network operating in Ghazni and adjoining areas, the official asserted.
Taliban militants who are active in parts of the eastern Ghazni province are yet to make comment on the report. Enditem
