Taliban Detain Three Sons of Former Afghan Commander.
Local sources in Uruzgan report that the Taliban have detained three sons of General Matiullah, the former police chief of the province.
The three individuals—Wahidullah, Waris, and Nawidullah—were arrested seven days ago (November 17, 2025) from their home in Tarinkot, Uruzgan. The main reason for their detention is not yet clear, but local sources say the Taliban discovered and confiscated weapons and ammunition from the family’s home. No further details about the detention conditions or possible charges have been released.
The Taliban’s Uruzgan police command stated in a statement that weapons and ammunition were seized from a house and three individuals were arrested in connection with them. The command did not identify the detainees but emphasized that the arms were recovered from the home of a former government military officer.
