Taliban commander killed in Afghan northern Jawzjan province

 AVA-"A group of Taliban rebels under notorious commander Mullah Nawab attacked a water tanker of police on a road leading to provincial capital Shiberghan on Sunday evening, triggering a gun battle during which Mullah Nawab was killed and his body has been identified," Khashi told media.
Mullah Nawab, according to the official, was infamous in attacking government interests and his physical elimination could be a major setback to the Taliban insurgents in Jawzjan and adjoining provinces.
