One dead in Kapisa

MAHMUD RAQI, Feb 24 -- Clash between two former Jihadi commanders left one man dead and two others wounded in the Kohistan at district of the central Kapisa province, officials said on Friday.

Crime branch chief of the district Ahmad Zia told the clash erupted between former commander of Jamiat-i-Islami Abdul Malook and another loyalist of the Hezb-i-Islami Agha Shireen.

Zia said one man from commander Malook's side was killed and another injured in the fight. He said both commanders had grudges against each other and they clashed in the past as well.

The officer said police rushed to the area to control the situation. He said four people had been taken into custody and investigations had been launched to arrest the other people involved in the clash.

He said the two commanders had earlier surrendered their weapons under the disarmament, demobilization and reintegration (DDR) programme last year. Locals say many people have been killed in clashes between the two commander in the past.
