13 Security Force Members Killed in Herat
Security officials in Herat said that 13 members of Afghan Local Police were killed in an attack by Taliban “infiltrators” in their outpost in Ghorian district of Herat province on Friday night.
Herat police spokesman Abdul Ahad Walizada said the attack was carried out by three Taliban “infiltrators” at around 10:00 pm on Friday.
Walizada said the attackers took the weapons of the local police force members with them following the attack.
The attack comes hours after the United States announced that it has reduced the number of its troops to 2,500 in Afghanistan as per the US-Taliban agreement signed in Doha last year in February.
