GHAZNI CITY (Pajhwok): Two hundred Taliban fighters were killed during clashes in southern Ghazni province last week, an official said, but the insurgent spurned the claim as baseless.
Deputy Governor Mohammad Ali Ahmadi, speaking exclusively to Pajhwok Afghan News, acknowledged the Taliban had closed the Kabul-Kandahar near Ghazni City for three days.
The militants also conducted attacks on security personnel on the outskirts of the provincial capital, he said, adding important commanders were among the 200 fighters . . .
