The Afghanistan Freedom Front (AFF) said it killed three Taliban fighters in a guerrilla attack on Saturday near the provincial governor’s office in Fayzabad, the capital of Badakhshan province.
In a statement, the group said the attack targeted a Taliban reserve unit and wounded another member. Local sources, however, told Afghanistan International that an incident took place on Saturday afternoon, in Fayzabad, but said four people were wounded. As in previous cases, the Taliban have not commented on the claim.
The AFF accused the targeted Taliban unit of suppressing public protests and creating an atmosphere of fear to consolidate control by the authorities in Kabul. The group said none of its fighters were harmed in the operation.
The Afghanistan Freedom Front is an armed movement opposed to the Taliban that emerged after the group returned to power. It says it is made up of former military personnel and political opponents of the Taliban.
The AFF says its aim is armed resistance against the Taliban and the establishment of a different political system in Afghanistan. The group has claimed responsibility for a number of attacks on Taliban forces.
