“it is completely wrong, it is propaganda of our enemy, ISIS is our enemy, there is no ISIS in Sar-e-Pul. Our commander in Sar-e-Pul is called Ghazanfar, who is not an ISIS,” Zabiullah Mojahid, a Taliban spokesman, told CNN.<\/div>\n
Another Taliban representative, Qari Yousuf Ahmadi, denied killing the civilians, also saying it was “propaganda” from the group’s enemies.<\/div>\n
In the statement he said “only 28 local militia were killed”, adding that their bodies were given to local elders.<\/div>\n
Najib Danish, a spokesman for the Afghan Ministry of the Interior, said that the government is planning an operation to retake the area from militants.<\/div>\n<\/div>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
