Brave Afghan girl shoots dead two talibani fighters

New Delhi: Brave Afghan girl name Wamar Gul shot dead two Taliban fighters and wounded several more after they dragged her parents from their home and killed them for supporting the government, officials said.

According to news report, the incident happened last week when insurgents stormed the home of Qamar Gul, a teenager from a village in the central province of Ghor. The fighters were looking for her father, the village chief.

Her father was a government supporter, which is why the Taliban fighters went to his house and dragged him out. When his wife resisted, the Taliban fighters killed the couple outside their home, Mr Malekzada said.

Qamar Gul, who was inside the house, took an AK-47 gun the family had and first shot dead the two Taliban fighters who killed her parents, and then injured a few others,” he said. Ms Gul is aged between 14 and 16, according to different officials. It is common for many Afghans to not know their precise age.

Several other Taliban fighters later came to attack her house, but some villagers and pro-government militiamen expelled them after a gunfight. Afghan security forces have now taken Ms Gul and her younger brother to a safer place, said Mohamed Aref Aber, spokesman to the provincial governor.

The Taliban regularly kill villagers who they suspect of being informers for the government or security forces.
