According to witnesses interviewed by Hasht-e Subh, the victim was identified as "Mullah Jalal," a shopkeeper in the "Maidanak-e Rezaha" area. The motive behind the attack remains unknown at this time.
This incident follows a similar tragedy last year when Mullah Jalal’s brother, Mawlavi Abdul Matin, a professor at the Darul Uloom of Ghor province, was also killed by unidentified button men.
That sure makes it sound like the Taliban are out to wipe out the family in their inimitable taqfiri way.
The Taliban
...Arabic for students...
have not issued any statements regarding this recent incident.
Regrettably, Ghor province has witnessed a surge in such incidents in recent months. Not long ago, unidentified armed individuals also fatally shot a shopkeeper in the Teyora district of the province.
