Afghanistan, Feb 22 (IBNS) : At least five workers of the Afghan Intelligence Agency, National Directorate of Security (NDS), were killed in militant attack in northern Parwan province of Afghanistan.

Local Khaama Press quoted the local government officials as saying that  the incident took place on Wednesday in the vicinity of Bagram district.

The district administrative chief of Bagram Abdul Shukoor Qudoosi confirmed the incident and said the deceased individuals all belonged to the NDS directorate of Kapisa.

He said the intelligence director of Kapisa and four other staff of the provincial intelligence directorate of Kapisa were among those killed.

The anti-government armed militant groups including the Taliban insurgents have not commented regarding the report so far.

Parwan is among the relatively volatile provinces in northern Afghanistan where the Taliban insurgents are actively operating in some of its remote districts and often carry out insurgency activities.

Roadside bombings, suicide attacks, target killings, and other forms of terrorist attacks are often reported from the restive districts of Parwan.

However, the counter-terrorism operations are underway against the anti-government armed militant and terrorist groups in a number of the northern provinces including Parwan province to suppress the anti-government armed elements.
