The Taliban assassinated the brother of former Vice President Amrullah Saleh after his arrest.
Al-Arabiya has claimed quoting Amaj News that the Taliban had arrested Amrullah Saleh's brother Rohullah Azizi from Panjshir yesterday. He was shot dead by Taliban fighters in Rokha District after his arrest between Thursday and Friday night. Rohullah Azizi was a key commander in the resistance against the Taliban in Panjshir.
It may be recalled that after the Taliban took over Kabul, Amrullah Saleh fled to Panjshir, where he co-founded the National Resistance Front with Ahmed Masood and declared war on the Taliban. Recently, the Taliban had captured Panj Sher, after which Amrullah Saleh and Ahmed Masood went into hiding.
The Taliban claim full control of the Panjshir Valley, but Resistance Front leader Ahmed Masood says the fighting is still going on. He also called on the people of Afghanistan to revolt against the Taliban.
