I never saw the movie, but I watch CBN ever so often and check their web site along with assistnews.net and persecution.org. Totally heartbreaking.
KANDAHAR: Six Afghan soldiers were reportedly killed in a mine blast in the Spin Boldak district of Kandahar, a former stronghold of the ousted Taliban government.
Taliban spokesman Latif Hakimi, claiming responsibility for the blast, said six government soldiers including border check-post head Ibrahim were killed. But check-point commander Abdur Raziq, rejected the Taliban claim and said only one of his colleagues had received injuries in the explosion.
Giving details, he revealed the mine was planted by a man, who was seen crossing the border soon after the blast. “We chased him but the militia came to his rescue,” he alleged. Asked about the slaying of check-post head, Raziq replied: “Commander Ibrahim and other colleagues are alive and setting besides me.”
Meanwhile, an unidentified man was killed in a mine blast in the Khost province, police officials said. The man was planting a mine on the main road in Sanargai area of Bak district, 30 kilometer from the Khost City. Khost police chief Brig General Mohammad Ayub said investigations were underway; however, the man could not be identified as his body had been blown into pieces. Meanwhile, two suspected Taliban fighters were killed and a dozen arrested in separate operations in two districts of the southern Uruzgan province.
A top security official said on Tuesday a former commander was among the detainees held in the anti-insurgency crackdowns. Two insurgents were killed in the Dehrao district of Uruzgan, they added.
