Afghan warlord Hekmatyar claims French ambush

KABUL: Afghan insurgent leader Gulbuddin Hekmatyar has claimed responsibility in a video message for an August ambush that killed 10 French soldiers, an Afghan news agency reported on Monday, saying it had seen the footage.

In the video statement, Hekmatyar also said he lost 10 men in the battle in Sarobi, the independent Pajhwok Afghan News agency reported. The Taliban movement, which has unclear links with Hekmatyar's faction, has also claimed responsibility for the attack, which was the deadliest for the French military in 25 years.

Pajhwok told AFP the video was delivered to its office in Peshawar Pakistan on Sunday. In it, the leader of the Hezb-i-Islami faction names nine of his party members killed in the fighting, the news agency said. afp
