The Afghanistan Freedom Front (AFF) on Tuesday claimed that a Taliban commander had been killed in an attack conducted by the front’s forces in Pul-e-Khomri city of Baghlan province.

AFF released a "video recording of the attack on the Taliban commander" and said that four other Taliban members had also been killed and wounded as a result of the attack.

Local sources told Afghanistan International that a hand grenade had been thrown at a Taliban Ranger vehicle in Pul-e-Khomri city. However, independent sources have not yet confirmed the death of this Taliban commander.

The Afghanistan Freedom Front claimed that this Taliban commander was inspecting people's houses in Baghlan and apprehending individuals based on suspicions of their affiliation with Taliban’s opposition factions.
