An Afghan mother has reportedly killed 25 Taliban fighters after seeing her son die in a fierce gun battle.
Reza Gul, who lives in the Balabolok district in western Afghanistan, said she rushed to a small police outpost near her home after being awoken by gunfire early on November 17.
She told NBC News she screamed in anger and grief when she saw her son Safiullah — who had been guarding the outpost along with a group of lightly armed policemen — shot dead.
Then, she said, she took action.
Flanked by her husband, youngest son, daughter and daughter-in-law, the grieving mother grabbed a gun and attacked the militants. Full story...
