Afghan military leaders resign after attack
Afghan Defence Minister, Abdullah Habibi and Army Chief of Staff Qadam Shah Shahim stepped down with immediate effect, after more than 140 soldiers were killed last week in the deadliest ever Taliban attack on a military base. Afghan President Ashraf Ghani accepted the resignations of his defense minister and army chief of staff on Monday, the president's office said. The resignations were because of Friday's attack on a major army base in the northern city of Mazar-i-Sharif. In a serious security failure, as many as 10 Taliban fighters, dressed in Afghan army uniforms and driving military vehicles, made their way onto the base and opened fire on soldiers and new recruits eating a meal and leaving a mosque after Friday prayers. The attackers used rocket-propelled grenades, machine guns, and suicide vests in the attack . Ghani declared Sunday a day of mourning, ordering flags to be flown at half staff.
