“It started around five in the morning. They were attacking with Kalashnikovs, hand grenades, and all kinds of different weapons,” Rezagul says. With two police officers in her family, the housewife was familiar with weapons, although she says she had never used them before.<\/p>\n
Rezagul says her daughter, daughter-in-law, and youngest son also joined her in fending off the assault. “I was helping [policemen] to put bullets into their Kalashnikovs,” says Fatima, Rezagul’s daughter-in-law. “And I was also throwing hand grenades.

Farah police chief Abdul Razzaq Yaqoobi corroborated Rezagul’s account and praised the family, “especially the brave Afghan women,” for their “exceptional courage and heroism.”<\/p><\/blockquote>\n
The Afghan government says that about 700 Taliban attacked the outpost and Rezgul’s home was leveled in the battle, but they’ve provided the family with a mud hut.<\/p>\n
The Taliban has no comment, strangely. She needs to start training the ANA.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
