We’ve all heard that “Hell hath no fury as a woman scorned,” but a scorned woman is no match for a mourning mother. One Afghan woman who had lost her son to Muslim terrorists wasn’t going down without a fight, and her story is one that sounds like the script of a Hollywood blockbuster.
When Reza Gul found her son dead, she had only one thing on her mind: revenge.
Gul’s son was a policeman in charge of an outpost, where she was awakened to a hail of gunfire. He died during the shootout with militants at his checkpoint in western Farah, TOLO News reports.
“It was around 5 a.m. when my son’s check post came under the attack of Taliban,” Gul said during an interview. “When the fighting intensified, I couldn’t stop myself and picked up a weapon, went to the check post and began shooting back.”
Gul’s lament was soon joined by her her husband, daughter, youngest son, and daughter-in-law, who picked up arms to fight alongside her.
“The fighting was intensified when we reached the battlefield along with light and heavy weapons,” said the daughter-in-law. “We were committed to fight until the last bullet.”
The fight lasted seven hours, resulting in dead jihadists, according to Khaama Press.
Gul’s daughter and youngest son prepared ammunition for their father and mother so that they may continue fighting without pause.
The battle wasn’t only in vengeance. The entire family would’ve been slaughtered if they allowed to Taliban to reach their quarters.
“My young son who was a police officer was killed in front of my eyes,” the father said. “I pulled aside his dead body and started fighting to defend my soil to prove that this is the soil of Malalay, the hero. I was committed to give up my life, but not my son’s check post.”
“Taliban are foreigners, they are servants of Pakistan, if they attack 100 other times, I will continue to defend my country and will shed their blood to not let them dare to enter my village,” the youngest son added.
The police chief was deeply grateful for the family’s courage, stating, “We are proud of the bravery of this family and this is a saga that will be remembered for long by police and residents of Farah province.”
