Sari told a press conference that a severe clash had been ongoing in Burka district over the past two days.
“Two Taliban group leaders –Qari Sattar and Qari Abdul Wahab — were also among the dead,” he said, adding Qair Abdul Wahab’s dead body was with security forces and the insurgents fled after sustaining heavy casualties.
The police chief warned insurgents they would achieve nothing except casualties on the battlefield if they continued their violent activities. He said the only choice with the rebels was to shun violence and join the peace process.
