Two Taliban fighters were killed during an internal clash over land in Afghanistan’s Sar-e Pol province, local sources told Afghanistan International.
The incident occurred in the village of Kuchan in the Kohistan district on Tuesday. According to local sources, the initial clash broke out between Taliban members over a land dispute, leaving one fighter dead. Taliban intelligence officials later arrested the alleged perpetrator.
While transporting the suspect to the district center, the Taliban intelligence vehicle was ambushed near the Khawamat crossroads by armed men, reportedly riding six motorcycles. A second gunbattle ensued, during which the detained fighter was also killed, sources said.
The Taliban have not commented publicly on the incident or the reported deaths.
This is not the first instance of infighting among Taliban ranks. Similar internal disputes have previously resulted in violence in provinces including Baghlan, Badakhshan, and other areas.
