Taliban conducting house-to-house sweep across Afghan capital
Taliban is carrying out a large security of Kabul and other Afghan cities, their spokesman said on Sunday, went home to find weapons and criminals blamed for a series of robbery and kidnapping recently.
Operation, which began on Friday, has been worried about many people who are afraid of being targeted because of their relationship with the regime supported by the previous West or US-led foreign forces which eventually retreated on August 31.
Some Irate residents posted videos on social media that showed the houses they said had been destroyed during the search for Taliban, but some people told the AFP their meeting was polite and at a glance.
It’s just my niece at home when they come and they make a big mess,” said a resident, who asked not to be named after, showing a series of AFP images that revealed a considerable disturbance.
We tried to take steps against the kidnappers, thieves and looters who had weapons in their hands and threaten the lives of people, “Spokesman Zabihullah Mujahid told a press conference.
He said the authorities had found two victims of kidnapping during the operation, and also freed two teenage girls they found chained in the basement.
Mujahid said light and heavy weapons, explosives, radio equipment, and drones were confiscated, as well as military or government vehicles.
