The Taliban conquered a provincial capital in southern Afghanistan, and assassinated a government official who ran Afghanistan’s state media apparatus Friday. The terrorist organization took the capitol of Nimroz province, Zaranj, seizing the governor’s office, police headquarters and a border encampment, CNN reported. Nimroz borders both Iran and Pakistan, making it of strategic importance to both the Taliban and the internationally-recognized Afghan government led by Ashraf Ghani. “This is the beginning and see how other provinces fall in our hands very soon,” an anonymous Taliban commander reportedly told CNN.
