New Delhi (SunstarTV Bureau): Afghanistan’s former Vice President Amrullah Saleh brother Rohullah Azizi, who was one of the leaders of the resistance front in Panjshir, was killed by the Taliban in Karukh district of the province.
The confirmation was made by the deceased’s relatives. However, they also said that Azizi’s body was not given to them, reported Khaama News.
Besides, Taliban said that Azizi was killed during a conflict with them and also has refuted the allegation.
This is the second family member of the resistance front’s leaders who lost their lives in Panjshir province.
Earlier, Commander Abdul Wodood, the nephew of slain guerrilla leader Ahmad Shah Massoud, was killed along with the spokesperson of the front Fahim Dashti.
Taliban has denied killing both and had added that they died in the intra-resistance front fight.
Panjshir province in the northeast of Kabul was the last holdout which was captured by the Taliban last week but fighting is still going on in some parts. Officials in the resistance front claim to have taken some areas back from the Taliban but the latter has not commented on the issue yet.
