Head of Afghanistan National Directorate Security (NDS), Rahmatullah Nabil on Tuesday’s session at Parliament has apologized Afghanistan nation for the fall of Kundoz province.

Nabil talking at Wolesi Jirga acknowledge that Security Forces failed to prevent the Kundoz disaster.

Parliament’s session on summoning security officials regarding the collapse of Kundoz province held in secret after limited minutes behind the closed doors and out sight of the media outlets.

Security officials claim that they have informed the presence of terrorist in Kundoz seven months ago but operations on wiping out the terrorist havens in Kundoz were not conducted.

“We apologize the nation and the representatives of people that we failed to prevent Kundoz disaster,” Rahmatullah Nabil, head of NDS said.

Meanwhile, Kundoz representatives voiced concern over Kundoz situation; citing Kundoz is under Taliban’s control and the people are in a difficult trouble.

“Kundoz situation is extremely bad, people have killed and there are a few soldiers fighting against terrorists,” Shukrya Paikan, representative of Kundoz said.

Head of NDS says that Kundoz has been threatened long time ago and 700 commandos along with international forces went to Kundoz airport to prepare carrying out operations but the operations delayed due to some reasons.

However, the reasons for delaying the operations remained unclear.

A number of Parliament representatives left Parliament to draw protest; security official’s statements did not provide satisfactory for representatives.

“These are repetitive statements, people are facing problems. They lie, they did not conduct any operations and would not do,” Fatima Aziz, representative of Kundoz said.

The Taliban took the strategic northern city of Kunduz on Monday in a surprise multi-pronged attack that kicked off before dawn.

It was the first major urban area to fall to the Taliban since the U.S.-led invasion of Afghanistan in 2001 and marks an escalation of the insurgency.

Afghan security forces have been sorely tested this year, following the withdrawal at the end of 2014 of international combat troops.

Army and police have suffered huge casualties and their resources have been spread thinly across the country as the Taliban have taken their fight to topple the Kabul government to every corner of the country.

Kunduz is one of the largest and wealthiest cities in Afghanistan, and the surrounding province, also called Kunduz, is one of the country’s chief breadbaskets and has rich mining assets.

It lies on a strategic crossroads connecting Afghanistan to Pakistan, China and Central Asia.
