Taliban Attacks Pushed Back in Kapisa District: Official Taliban attacks in Nijrab district in the central province of Kapisa were pushed back by security forces and members of the public uprising forces early on Tuesday morning, a police official said. The attacks happened in Dara-e-Farokh Shah and Dara-e-Kalan areas in Nijrab district, Kapisa police spokesman Shayiq Shorish said. The clashes started shortly after midnight and continued until 4 am on Tuesday, he said. Shorish said that six people, including two civilians and four members of the public uprising forces, were killed in the clashes. This comes as former Kapisa governor Mehrabuddin Safi on Monday said that weak coordination among public uprising forces led to the fall of many key areas to the Taliban in the province, including Nijrab district.
