Reza Gul lost her son to the Taliban terrorists. She heard them shooting at 5 a.m., woke up and shot back in revenge, not willing to let them get away with it. Her son had been a policeman in charge of an outpost. Once she found that he had died during the exchange of shots with terrorists at his checkpoint in western Farah province, she could not stop herself from picking up a gun, rushing to the checkpost and firing back, according to TOLO News

However, she was actually lamenting, so she was soon joined by her husband, daughter, youngest son and daughter-in-law. They all armed themselves and rushed to her side. Seema, the daughter-in-law, said that the fighting kept increasing while they reached the battlefield with light as well as heavy arms. "We were committed to fight until the last bullet," she said.

For seven hours the war went on, killing 25 jihadists and wounding five. Gul's daughter, Fatima, and youngest son, Sardar, were preparing the ammunition, so that the fighting could go on without let up. While the vengeance was clear, the benefit to the family was that it prevented them from getting murdered if they had allowed the Taliban to approach their house.

Abdul Satar, the father, confirmed that his young son was a police officer and was killed in front of him. He pushed the dead body aside and began to shoot in order to "prove that this is the soil of Malalay, the hero," he said. He added that he could sacrifice his life, but not the check post. The youngest son confirmed that the Taliban are "foreigners and servants of Pakistan." Even if they got into a battle a 100 times, he was prepared to defend the country and let their blood flow, so that they would keep away from his village, he said, according to madworldnews.com.

The police chief was elated by the family's contribution, and said: "We are proud of the bravery of this family and this is a saga that will be remembered for long by police and residents of Farah province." A spokesman for the Afghanistan's Ministry of Interior even called it a "symbol of a public uprising."

The Taliban has not commented on the incident. Last month, the U.S. withdrew its forces, after which the Taliban has attacked the country, targeting entire strips of areas inhabiting the government, security and foreign regions, according to Daily Mail.com. .
