7 kidnapped Afghan soldiers found dead

According to the local police, the bodies of all seven Afghan National Army soldiers were found in the suburbs of the provincial capital of southern Zabul Province on Wednesday.

“The soldiers were abducted a week ago while traveling from southern Kandahar Province to neighboring Zabul,” police chief Ghulam Sakhi said.

The incident comes as at least seven Taliban militants were killed and 21 others were arrested during cleanup operations across the war-torn country on Tuesday.

The Afghan National Police also seized certain amounts of weapons and ammunition used by the militants.

The Taliban militant group was removed from power following the US-led invasion in 2001, though the group continued its militancy and violence against Afghan civilians, as well as Afghan forces and government personnel.
