Qhamar Gul, 15, and brother Habibullah fought back with an AK-47 assault rifle when their home was attacked, Ghor province spokesman Arif Aber told CNN Wednesday.
CNN has blurred part of this image to protect the identity of the subject. Qhamar and Habibullah Gul pose for photographs in the governor's office in Feroz Koh, the provincial capital of Ghor province, in western Afghanistan, Tuesday, July 21, 2020.
The children's father, a tribal elder and government supporter, and their mother were killed by insurgents around 1 a.m. local time on July 16 in the Tyora district, Aber said.
Qhamar and Habibullah Gul are now "in a safe place," Aber said, without specifying the location.
The Taliban's aim is to impose its interpretation of Islamic law on Afghanistan and remove foreign influence from the country.

However, in the month following the signing of the deal the Taliban increased its attacks on America's Afghan allies to higher than usual levels, according to data provided to the Pentagon's Special Inspector General for Afghanistan Reconstruction.
Despite the continued attacks on Afghan National Defense and Security Forces, on July 14 the Pentagon announced the US has withdrawn from five bases in Afghanistan and reduced the size of its forces in the country.
