Khaki Safid Khak-e Safed District Khak-e-Safeed Khak-e-Safid Khak-i-Safid Chief:
District police chief:
Background: The district accounts for almost half of the total security incidents recorded in the province in recent times (2012). Although not as vast as other districts, nor as strategically located, it has experienced trouble since an early stage of the current war and at an increasing level. This can be explained partially because of its border with historically troublesome Shindand. The Taleban shadow governor for Khak-e Safed is indeed said to be Mulla Akhtar, a former deputy of Amanullah, the Shindand Taleban strongman killed in 2006 in the context of a drawn out political feud.The most feared Taleban commander active in Khak-e Safed is Mulla Zakir. He is a younger and obscure character and has become notorious for mass kidnappings, torture and – often -brutal executions he has inflicted on civilians somehow connected to the government or simply uncooperative.
