A key Taliban group member who was involved in facilitation of weapons and terrorist attacks was killed during the operation of the Afghan armed forces in southeastern Ghazni province.

“Khadim, a Taliban weapons facilitator was killed during an Afghan security forces raid in Zanahkan district March 23, 2019. Khadim was responsible for numerous attacks in southeast Afghanistan targeting civilians and government employees,” informed military sources said Thursday.

The sources further added that Afghan security forces have killed over 45 Taliban fighters in Ghazni province this month.

The anti-government armed militants including Taliban have not commented regarding the killing of Khadim so far.

Ghazni is among the relatively volatile provinces in southeastern parts of Afghanistan.

Taliban are active in some of the districts of Ghazni and often attempt to carry out attacks against the government and security institutions.
