Taliban members dressed as soldiers assaulted a courthouse complex killing at least 50 people, 34 of them civilians.
At least 90 were injured, most of them civilians.
The attack in Farah province began around 9 a.m. local time when militants detonated explosives inside an army vehicle damaging the local governor’s office and two banks packed with civilians. The terrorists then began a gun battle with Afghan security forces. Several terrorists detonated suicide vests.
The Taliban confirmed the courthouse was the intended target where 15 Taliban prisoners were due to be set for trial. None of the prisoners were freed in the assault.
“I heard a huge bang and when I looked I saw several attackers armed with light and heavy weapons running towards the bank and the court,” a local shopkeeper told the BBC. “There is blood and broken glass. There is a heavy exchange of gunfire and my shop has become a center of the fighting.”
The Afghani forces reported that maps were found in the pockets of killed terrorists showing that they had gathered inside intelligence prior to the assault.
