TIRINKOT (Pajhwok): The governor of central Uruzgan province claims security forces have beaten back a string of recent Taliban attack.
Asadullah Saeed made the remarks weeks after the insurgents launched assaults on Khas Uruzgan and Chora districts. Casualties were inflicted on a number of security forces.
He said the attacks led by Mullah Yaqub, son of former Taliban supremo Mullah Omar, were aimed to capture the districts before reaching Tirinkot.
