At least five senior Taliban officials from the public health ministry, including a close aide to their minister, have been arrested by Taliban intelligence over corruption, three sources familiar with the matter said.
Those detained include Noorullah Darwish, Taliban’s head of documents and communications at the ministry, along with four other officials working in or around the Taliban minister’s office. The additional detainees include the minister’s chief of staff, a senior office administrator, a secretary and a petitions manager, the sources said.
