GHAZNI, Afghanistan, Aug 26 (NNN-AGENCIES) – Afghan fighting aircraft targeted a Taliban hideout in Khawja Omari district, of the eastern Ghazni province, killing four militants and smashing Radio Emirate — the propaganda device of the armed outfit, district police chief, Omid Ghorbandi, said today (Monday).
“Acting upon intelligence report, the security forces launched air raids in Barakat area of Khawja Omari district, on Saturday evening, destroying the mouthpiece of insurgent group and killing four of its employees on the spot,” Ghorbandi said.
The radio, according to the official, was involved in anti-government propaganda, to incite the people against the government in its security forces.
It is the second time over the past one month that the government forces have targeted Taliban radio, in the relatively violent Ghazni province.
In the previous attack, the fighting aircraft struck a Taliban hideout and destroyed Radio Shariat (Voice of Sharia), in Zana Khan district of Ghazni province, some four weeks ago.– NNN-AGENCIES
