MAZAR-I-SHARIF (Pajhwok): Former governor of northern Balkh province and Jamiat-i-Islami Afghanistan key leader Atta Mohammad Noor has been elected as chairman of the National Mobilization Military Council.

Noor wrote on his Facebook page that in order to assess the security situation in Balkh province and take important decisions, a meeting was held with the participation of province’s representatives in the National Assembly and Provincial Council.

The meeting was attended by members of political parties and officials including Wahdat-i-Islami, Azad Harakat Party, Wahdat-e-Islami New Afghanistan Party, Alliance of Hezb-e-Islami Councils and representatives of Harakat-e-Islami, Iqtidar-e-Milli, Joint Islamic Consultative Council and Jamiat-e-Islami party.
