The committee's statement, reported on Friday, gives the haul in inventory detail: two plastic packages of hashish, one rifle, one pistol, backpacks. A criminal case is open and an investigation is running.
The two files share only the river
No date for the incident itself appears in the statement, and the desk anchors this item to the report date. The committee's account is the only published version; no Afghan-side statement on the episode had surfaced in the wires by this edition.
The two files share only the river. A different stretch of it, with different actors, thickened the security file earlier this month: a Taliban commanders' feud in Badakhshan put fire across the water at Darvaz, Dushanbe's first official protest note followed on 14 August, and the commander surrendered on 17 August.
