Following is the April 2022 installment of “Afghanistan Terrorism Report.” The authors provide a monthly analysis concerning the developing terrorist threat in Afghanistan as well as a comprehensive overview of that month’s al-Qaeda and ISIS-K propaganda.
April 2022 was characterized by growing levels of violence in Afghanistan, primarily perpetrated by ISIS-K. As highlighted by the various online propaganda channels of ISIS-K, attacks by the terror group were concentrated in the north and east of the country. Significantly, ISIS-K propaganda claimed an attempt to attack installations with rockets in Termez, Uzbekistan. Although ISIS propaganda released videos of rockets being fired, both the Taliban and the Uzbek government announced that no rockets had reached Uzbek territory. Nevertheless, an attempted attack on Uzbek territory signifies a potential strategic shift. Over the past two decades, apart from violence related to the illegal drug trade, the regions north of Afghanistan’s border with Central Asia did not experience direct attacks by terror groups operating from within Afghanistan. Therefore, this situation requires further monitoring in order to ascertain whether terrorist spillover effects in Central Asia will begin to emerge, as they have already with Pakistan.
In addition to attacks on Shiite and Sufi individuals and mosques in Afghanistan, including once again in the city of Herat in western Afghanistan, ISIS-K propaganda also highlighted frequent attacks in Pakistan, particularly in Bajaur District and in the city of Peshawar. These ISIS-K attacks in Pakistan seem to be part of a wider trend. In addition to ISIS-K attacks, since the takeover of power by the Taliban, particularly the Tehrik-i-Taliban Pakistan (TTP), has carried out a significantly higher number of attacks in Pakistan’s Western regions than in previous years. Furthermore, the Balochistan Liberation Army (BLA), a violent separatist terror group, has begun to target Chinese nationals and interests in Pakistan. Pakistani security forces regularly confiscate U.S. weapons in the possession of TTP and BLA fighters, indicating that arms and ammunition left behind after the withdrawal of international forces are now being sold to violent groups within the region. Furthermore, although not claiming direct responsibility for the attack, ISIS-K propaganda praised the attack on Shiite clerics by an Afghan in Mashad, Iran, as justified. As expected following the Taliban takeover in 2021, arms, ammunition, and terrorist violence seem to have begun to permeate outwards from Afghanistan into the wider region.
Map of Incidents Highlighted by ISIS-K Social Media Propaganda in April 2022
To augment its sectarian violence in Afghanistan and beyond, pro-ISIS-K propaganda continues to highlight the supposedly missing “Islamic character” of the Taliban regime. Since the Taliban had officially banned drug production, transport, and sale in the country at the beginning of April, pro-ISIS-K propaganda reported on the continuing cultivation and sale of drugs in Afghanistan, particularly in Kunar, Nangarhar, and Helmand. Helmand is one of the largest drug-producing provinces in Afghanistan. Although it is a theme used in ISIS-K propaganda, outside observers have also doubted the seriousness of the Taliban ban. Despite military and political upheaval in the country and a severe drought, the United Nations Office on Drug and Crime (UNODC) documented a significant increase in drug production in Afghanistan in 2021. In addition to poppy cultivation, this also included a massive spike in methamphetamine production. According to the latest available data, seizures of this synthetic drug in Afghanistan increased from around 47 kg to 1.2 tons between 2016 and 2020. This growing new production capacity in Afghanistan requires obtaining precursor chemicals and building laboratories rather than large-scale cultivation of poppy plants. Therefore, remote monitoring of production capacities will be a challenge. Laboratories are more challenging to identify than poppy fields. This will enable the Taliban to publically “demonstrate” a reduction in drug production by eradicating poppy fields while substituting any reduced income through further increases in methamphetamine production. Methamphetamine has higher profit margins than heroin. Given the significance of drug income for the Taliban and that the movement has financed itself via drug money since its creation, it remains doubtful that this current ban will be more sustainable than the movement’s prior bans in the late 1990s and 2000. These past restrictions primarily resulted in a global price hike in heroin and, therefore, higher profit margins for the Taliban rather than a serious reduction in production in the country.
Furthermore, in April, pro-ISIS-K propaganda continued highlighting the religious deviance of the Taliban regime, which they accuse of nationalism, tribalism, and befriending what ISIS calls the “enemies of Islam.” Within their propaganda messages in April, pro-ISIS-K propagandists highlighted increasing poverty in Afghanistan and the Taliban banning of secondary education for girls in the country, contrasting this with the lavish lifestyle of the Taliban leaders in Gulf states, where their daughters attend schools. This is a reference to the Doha office of the Taliban in Qatar, where around 500 families of Taliban leaders have been living rather lavishly since the opening of the office in 2013.
Furthermore, in a Telegram post at the beginning of April, pro-ISIS-K propagandists also criticized the lack of enforcement of female religious dress in Afghanistan, the hijab. This post came a day before the release of a new video by al-Qaeda leader Ayman al-Zawahiri on April 5, in which Zawahiri criticized countries that ban the wearing of the hijab. As expected, both the ideological competition by ISIS-K and al-Qaeda’s harsh interpretation of Islamic rules offer opportunities for the Taliban to reinforce their own extremist views on women’s rights in Afghanistan. Therefore, it is no surprise that on May 6, Taliban leader Haibatullah Akhundzada decreed that women in Afghanistan have to wear burqas once again and advised them to stay home unless they have important work outside. This latest measure is in addition to restrictions on work for women from September 2021, the ban for women traveling alone in the country, enacted in December 2021, as well as the restrictions on Afghan women traveling on an airplane without a male chaperone as well as the recent ban of female secondary education, both in force since March this year.

“#khurasan. Afghan farmers were photographed collecting the first opium crop of this season in Helmand province, just two days after the apostate Taliban militia issued an order to ban the cultivation and production of it permanently, which resulted in the price of opium rising three times in Helmand markets, where the price of 7 kg of drugs rose from 400 $ to 1200 $.
You have to remember that there is a difference between what the apostate Taliban militia says and what they do, they have announced that they will impose the hijab, and so far no hijab.”
“#khurasan. This is not a hospital for the lunatics, these are the Sufis in one of their temples in Mazar-i-Sharif. After the apostate Taliban came to power, the Sufis, Rawafids and Sikhs were granted absolute freedom to practice their polytheism and disbelief in God. In fact, the pagan Taliban restored hundreds of similar shrines and temples.
On the other hand, it closes schools and mosques for those it calls Salafis, and even kills them at night.
When the soldiers of the Caliphate were blowing up polytheistic temples and shrines, the apostates were wailing and wailing and slashing their pockets. ‘The state blows up mosques.’ Today we see the Taliban polytheists rebuilding temples and shrines that are worshiped besides God.
The rules, the bankrupt, and every arrogant apostate, we are waiting for your patching, oh firewood of hell.”

It turned out that he was an Afghan from an Uzbek Pashtun family, his name was Abdul Latif Moradi.

“#khurasan. The apostate Abdul Qahar Balkhi tweeted; Spokesman for the Ministry of Foreign Affairs of the apostate Taliban militia, proud of meeting the apostate Muttaki with the Magian ambassador to protest modesty after dozens of clips appeared of the Rafidah attacking Afghan refugees and killing some of them. The apostate Muttaki insisted that the Afghans should not be punished for what happened in his temple and described the Afghan attacker as a ‘criminal.’ The apostate Balkhi also insulted the leaders, elements and tyrants of the apostate Taliban, who published clips and tweets threatening Iran by sending suicide bombers, and this threatens to kill every Iranian on the land of Afghanistan, and that threatens to invade it.”
“#khurasan. Four members of the apostate Taliban militia were killed in a clash between two militia leaders in Takhar.

He lied and said that Muhammad Agha was killed by the Taliban while he was planting an explosive device on the side of the road in Annaba in the city of Panjshir for $500. Al-Afak Khorasani added: ‘There is no place for Da'esh in Panjshir.’
Then when the angry people came out with demonstrations calling for death to the apostate Taliban militia and death to the dogs of Pakistan, the apostate deleted his tweet and others with another story, and we know that it is false as well.
The elements of the apostate Taliban militia, every individual is a project of a murderous thug dictator, and the common people have slaves of waste of blood, who abuse money and honor, and they attack or kill in retaliation and settling old accounts, and woe to him who disagree with their opinion.
As for the top of the pyramid, it is in a valley and their elements are in a cesspool.”
“#khurasan. Drones are still violating the sky of Kabul with the consent of the apostate Taliban militia”
“#khurasan. A child was kidnapped in broad daylight from Mazar-i-Sharif. CCTV footage shows the kidnappers taking a minor child from Mazar-i-Sharif, the capital of Balkh province, yesterday.
It is noteworthy that the number of kidnappings, robberies and roadblocks in #Afghanistan is increasing dramatically. And the apostate Taliban militia is concerned with the one who raises his hands when prostrating in prayer, so they beat him and then imprison (the story is true because they say that it is not in their doctrine) #security_and_safety and such.”
“Khorasan. Clashes continued between Pashtun, Uzbek and Tajik apostate Taliban militia members in Takhar. Local sources said that a unit of the apostate Taliban militia headed this morning to the Takhar area to resolve the conflict between three leaders of the militia and disarm them, who had clashed two days ago, and an armed clash immediately broke out with those forces.

“An elderly man sitting on the side of the road in Jalalabad wrote on a sign that he was selling one of his kidneys.
This picture is an example of poverty, unemployment and the humanitarian crisis in Afghanistan, with the apostate Taliban leaders enjoying power, money, luxurious planes and hotels, and their daughters playing football in Doha schools.
Where is the $600 million being sent to you in aid? Where is the billion dollars that was lifted from the freeze? In the pockets of the apostate Taliban, and the people starve, kill, steal and kidnap in broad daylight.”
“#khurasan. The Pakistan Air Force launched air and artillery strikes in Paktika province in southeastern Afghanistan and in Chukam in Sultan district of Kunar province in eastern Afghanistan. At least 5 people, including women and children, were killed.
It is reported that the apostate Taliban militia has allowed the world to intervene militarily over the land of Khorasan if they feel a threat to their interests, and even provides them with information from the ground as well.”
“And the apostate Taliban militia only summoned the ambassador of Pakistan and protested against the strike. More than 30 people were killed, most of them children.”
“The Pakistani air raid in #Khost and #Knar sets a dangerous precedent where other neighbors can also violate Afghan airspace we would like them to target to target groups they see as a threat to their national security, with the complicity of the apostate Taliban militia or a timid denunciation.”
“One of the senior scholars of misguidance in the apostate Taliban militia said that a man can move to live in America or Pakistan without his wife, and his wife will become pregnant by a miracle from God.
Unlike the Wahhabis and the Khariji Salafis, these miracles will not happen to them because they are an innovated people.
The donkey Rahimullah Haqqani, one of the most influential ideologues of the apostate Taliban militia, and among the words of the gasping dog: ‘The Islamic state and Wahhabism (Salafism) are the same. Mosques, religious institutes and their nurseries must be banned and eliminated all.’ The mule Haqqani hails from Nangarhar.
He also commands many of the militia's military brigades and wields enormous influence over most of its fighters and commanders across the country. The apostate was and still is a target of the monotheists, and he survived many attempts to suppress his unclean breath. We ask God to grant success to the mujahideen to split his unclean head.”
“#khurasan. A man set himself on fire this morning in Dhmazang Square in Kabul due to unemployment and hunger. And he did this at a time when his two young sons were standing next to him.”
“#concrete. Spokesman for the apostate Taliban militia Zabih said that Afghanistan would not be allowed to be used to attack Pakistan. As for the killing of Afghans during the Pakistan Air Force raid, this is a border issue that must be resolved through dialogue. Meanwhile, protests took place in Afghan cities, including Kandahar, under the slogan ‘Death to Pakistan.’”
“#khurasan. Uzbek warplanes violate the apostate Taliban airspace in Balkh after the soldiers of the Caliphate bombed them with ten Katbusha missiles. Askar of the Uzbek tyrant still denies the attack, while the dogs of the Taliban promised to pursue the perpetrators.”
“A Taliban leader describes today's bombings in Kabul as against humanity, and that they and the polytheists of Hazaras are brothers in idolatry and disbelief.”
“An audio recording of the Uzbek leader in the apostate Taliban militia in Takhar Mawlawi Hamasi, director of the Shah Ab mine run by the militia, accusing the militia of storming his house and stealing money and jewelry without the presence of a man in his house, and he also said that God will bring down a regime that betrays us, meaning the militia.”
The apostate Mawlawi Najibullah, spokesman for the apostate Taliban intelligence, announced in a speech yesterday in Kabul that the militia will begin to implement the law of Islam in its courts, starting from April 20, 2022 corresponding to Ramadan 18, 1443. But.
The militia's Supreme Court sentenced two thieves to flogging and 6 months in prison for stealing a car instead of the border.
and judge today; That is, a day after the decision to implement Sharia law entered into force, those who were caught drinking and selling alcohol will be imprisoned for 6 months instead of public flogging.
What is worse is that the announcement of the apostate Taliban is an explicit acknowledgment that they have not applied the Sharia since they took power.
The apostate Taliban still follows the previous regime's penal code that was put under direct US supervision, so Taliban judges pass judgments according to the laws of infidels. Putting someone in prison for 6 months for drinking alcohol is more expensive than flogging someone.
There is no excuse for them to use the excuse of ‘we are poor now, so we can't apply Sharia.’ And let's not forget that the militia was and still is governed by the Pushto tribal laws.”
“#khurasan. #revision. Today there were four explosions in Kabul, Balkh, Kunduz and Nangarhar provinces
In Khogyani district, Nangarhar province, an explosive device destroyed this morning a vehicle belonging to the apostate Taliban militia, killing 4 security personnel inside and wounding another. Earlier, in Jalalabad, gunmen opened fire on a vehicle belonging to the apostate Taliban militia, killing 3 militia members, including the leader, and wounding two others.
Also this morning, a car bomb exploded in Sari Dura area of Kunduz city, it was said that it targeted a Taliban checkpoint, the exact number of dead is not yet known. Another explosion occurred in western Kabul, and the target was also a security checkpoint, and the number of dead was not known.”
“#revision. The name is Suhail Zimrai, and local sources say that he killed 12 members of the apostate Taliban militia and wounded 7 others. The picture of Sohail's body was placed by the militia at the crossroads after he literally wiped the ground.”
“#Urgent. #khurasan. An explosion inside a temple for the Rafidah ‘Beit Mawlawi Sikandar’ in Imam Sahib district, Kunduz province. Local sources say at least 30 people died in the blast”
“#khurasan. The apostate Taliban militia officially congratulated the apostate Shahbaz Sharif on his appointment as a tyrant of Pakistan, and the statement issued by the apostate militia's Prime Minister praising the new tyrant said: ‘Your election is a noble and valuable thing. I hope that your election will strengthen the bilateral relations between the two brotherly countries and promote development and prosperity.’
The apostate Taliban acknowledges the polytheistic elections and describes them as noble and valuable. The apostate Taliban acknowledges the rule of the polytheistic tyrant and recognizes the artificial borders. The apostate Taliban is a sect that refuses to arbitrate God's law.
The apostate Taliban kills the people of faith (the Islamic State, the Salafis and the followers of the call of Sheikh Muhammad Abd al-Wahhab) and leaves the people of heresy, polytheism and idols, from Sufis, rejecters, Sikhs, and worshipers of tyranny.
The apostate Taliban allied itself with the apostates and the worshipers of the cross in a trench to fight the monotheists, and it gave safety to the infidels and allowed the blood of Muslims.
The senile group pledged allegiance to the apostate Taliban, a great pledge of allegiance. Furthermore
The Pakistani Taliban militia pledged allegiance to the apostate Taliban militia, fighting those whom it considers your guardian, neighbors, Muslims and brothers in religion.”
“#khurasan. ‘We (Afghans) are all one body. There is no difference between us: Sunnis, Shiites, Tajiks, Pashtuns and Uzbeks, all Afghans are Muslims,’ said the apostate Deputy Prime Minister of the apostate Taliban militia, Abdul Salam Hanafi. Loyalty to nationalism, not religion.”
“The apostate Taliban militia fired at a doctor's vehicle at one of their checkpoints in Kabul, wounding him. A child was also killed while on his way to work in a shop in the seventh district in Jalalabad when militia members shot him at a checkpoint because he had not stopped a rickshaw he was pushing.
