Afghan forces regain city after minister killed
Forces loyal to the governor of Heart in Afghanistan claimed to have retaken control of the western city today after fierce factional fighting that killed Afghanistan’s aviation minister and left as many as 100 people dead.
The governor’s troops fought against those of militia commander Zaher Naib Zada, who said his forces were responsible for yesterday’s fatal shooting of Aviation Minister Mirwais Sadiq, which sparked the clashes.
