DailyMail: A grieving Afghan mother took bloody revenge on
the Taliban militants who gunned down her son, killing 25 and injuring five of
them during a seven hour gun battle.
Reza
Gul watched helplessly as her son died while he manned a village checkpoint
with his small team of police officers in the lawless Farah province.
But
flanked by her daughter and daughter-in-law, she led a counter strike on his
attackers killing 25 militants and wounding another five during a ferocious
seven hour gun battle.
‘I
couldn’t stop myself and picked up a weapon,’ Gul told TOLO News. ‘I went to
the check post and began shooting back.’
Her
daughter-in-law Seema added: ‘The fighting was intensified when we reached the
battlefield along with light and heavy weapons. We were committed to fight
until the last bullet.’
She
added that the combats zone was strewn with Taliban bodies when the fighting
was over.
A spokesman for the Afghanistan’s Ministry of
Interior told the agency it was a symbol of a public uprising. The Taliban is yet to comment about the incident.
