KABUL, June 3: Afghanistan’s President Hamid Karzai has sacked dozens of senior police officials in an effort to boost security in Kabul, an official said on Saturday.
The shake-up may also include Kabul’s police chief General Jamil Junbish, whose forces failed to prevent rioters from rampaging through the city on Monday after a US military truck crashed into Afghan vehicles and killed at least five people.
Mr Karzai has ordered replacement of more than 80 interior ministry generals, he said.
The ministry said in a statement that 86 generals had been appointed for “improvement and maintenance of security and for necessary reforms.”—Reuters
