Comments for FDD's Long War Journal
In a statement released on Voice of Jihad, the Taliban reported that Mizan’s “district administration center, police head quarter and other security installations that were under tight siege of Mujahideen for the last one year have been overrun completely at noon hours today.” The Taliban’s report of overrunning Mizan has not yet been confirmed by the major Afghan news outlets, however it was reported in the Afghan Islamic Press. Previous Taliban reports of overrunning districts have been highly accurate and later have proven to be true, while the Afghan government and military often attempt to downplay the Taliban’s territorial gains.
