Following is the December 2022 to January 2023 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.
During the end of 2022 and the beginning of 2023, attacks by ISIS-K continued at a reduced level. A pattern of reduced violence during winter months is typical for Afghanistan. Harsh weather conditions hamper the ability of perpetrators to relocate to prepare and execute attacks. Nevertheless, during the reporting period, ISIS-K conducted four high-profile attacks in Kabul in quick succession. At the beginning of December, an attack targeted the Charge d’Affairs of the Pakistani embassy in Kabul. During the second week of December, ISIS-K attacked a hotel in Kabul, injuring several Chinese nationals. On January 1, 2023, ISIS-K targeted the entrance of the military section of Kabul airport, killing nearly two dozen individuals and injuring around 30. Finally, an ISIS-K attack on the entrance to the foreign ministry in Kabul on January 11, 2023, killed many people.
Therefore, while the overall number of ISIS-K-claimed attacks decreased at the end of 2022, with these four high-profile operations in Kabul in the span of fewer than six weeks, the group was able to target several key interests of the Taliban regime successfully. On the one hand, it demonstrated to nations friendly to the Taliban regime, such as Pakistan and China, that the Taliban will continue to face significant challenges in providing security. On the other hand, with the attacks on the entrances of the military airport and the foreign ministry, ISIS-K signaled that even hardened targets in the capital can be hit, albeit at their weakest point, the entrances, where employees often line up to present identification. ISIS-linked and pro-ISIS propaganda outlets highlighted these attacks with several posts, especially the Kabul hotel attack, since it was portrayed as taking action to fight the Chinese government, while the Taliban welcomed their investment, despite the persecution of the Uyghurs. The propaganda messages also highlighted the Tajik origin of two of the perpetrators in an apparent effort to signal that it is an ethnically broad-based entity in contrast to the Taliban regime, which is Pashtun dominated.
Finally, on January 4, 2023, the propaganda news outlet Amaq published an overview of all ISIS-claimed attacks in Afghanistan in 2022. The infographic claimed that the group conducted 181 attacks with 1188 victims. While it is difficult to verify these figures in detail, it is clear that ISIS-K remains a significant security threat in Afghanistan, albeit currently without the ability to strategically destabilize the Taliban regime.

On the ideological front, ISIS-linked and pro-ISIS propaganda continued to attack the Taliban, highlighting factional infighting, corruption, and mismanagement, such as the current frequent power outages in Afghanistan and crimes allegedly committed by Taliban officials. One particularly gruesome example is ISIS propaganda reports at the beginning of January 2023, highlighting the attempted abduction of children by Taliban officials in Panjshir province, apparently resulting in the death of two young boys.
Interestingly, pro-ISIS propaganda took up the story of Taliban figures purchasing Twitter checkmarks in January 2023. Pro-ISIS users argued that this is not only an example of the Taliban’s wasteful use of scarce resources but also an indication that the movement remains beholden to the U.S. Although this incident only involved small sums of money being forwarded by these Taliban figures to Twitter and despite these checkmarks being removed shortly afterward, this incident does display a shocking laissez-faire attitude of Twitter, a U.S. company, towards the implementation of U.S. and international sanctions, designed to constrain the Taliban regime. Allowing the receipt of what can only have been electronic transfers of money from prominent members of a U.S.-sanctioned entity on the Specially Designated Nationals And Blocked Persons List (SDN) by Twitter demonstrates either a severe failure of internal controls or the near complete lack of these.
Pro-ISIS propaganda also emphasized the Taliban’s decision in December to ban women from universities, stressing that this will lead to a lack of female teachers, doctors, and nurses. Despite ISIS committing horrific violations of the basic rights of women, both during their so-called caliphate as well as in territories currently under the control of ISIS affiliates, such as the Islamic State in West Africa Province (ISWAP), pro-ISIS propaganda claimed that women have a central role in society and that the group maintained specific female educational institutions during the time of its so-called caliphate. Despite highlighting the issue of female education in several posts, unsurprisingly, pro-ISIS propaganda ignored the Taliban decree that banned Afghan women from working for international non-governmental organizations (NGOs). ISIS defines international humanitarian organizations as enemies and their staff as legitimate targets. This new Taliban measure endangered the delivery of humanitarian aid to the Afghan population in the middle of winter. U.N. Secretary-General António Guterres immediately issued a statement criticizing this decision by the Taliban, which had forced several international humanitarian organizations to suspend their activities in the country. In January, some movement on this issue seems to have been achieved, with some international organizations resuming their humanitarian work in the country. It remains to be seen which concessions the Taliban received in exchange for allowing Afghan women to continue working for these international organizations.
Pro-ISIS propaganda rhetoric criticizing al-Qaeda and its affiliates seems to have become increasingly aggressive. While in early 2022, pro-ISIS propaganda criticized al-Qaeda and the al-Qaeda leadership for their support for the Taliban, in more recent posts, pro-ISIS propaganda defines al-Qaeda as apostates and highlights the parallels between the group and the Taliban regime. For example, the pro-ISIS Voice of Khorasan web magazine published a lengthy article highlighting what it calls the betrayal of Abu Muhammad al-Golani, the leader of Hayat Tahrir al-Sham (HTS), the al-Qaeda affiliate in Syria. So far, no reports have emerged that indicate that ISIS-K has begun targeting the several al-Qaeda affiliated entities that currently operate in Afghanistan or members of the leadership of al-Qaeda core residing in the country. However, the increasingly sharp ISIS-linked rhetoric against al-Qaeda may be an early indication that such attacks might become a possibility.
Finally, al-Qaeda’s ambitions to strike Western targets remain undiminished. On December 26, 2022, the new al-Qaeda-linked web magazine One Ummah highlighted the current situation in Somalia, where al-Shabaab, the local al-Qaeda affiliate, is increasingly aggressive in its operations. Comparing the situation there with the withdrawal of international forces from Afghanistan, the magazine ominously declared that “the war is not over,” highlighting the continuing threat emanating from al-Qaeda and its affiliates.

ISIS Al-Naba Newsletter Edition 371, Published December 29, 2022
“This week, the soldiers of the Caliphate in Khorasan Province overthrew one of the most prominent security leaders of the Taliban militia, along with a number of his bodyguards, with a car bomb in the northern region of Badakhshan, after intensive monitoring of his movements.”
“And in the details, by the grace of God Almighty, the soldiers of the Caliphate were able, on Monday (2 / Jumada al-Akhira), to park and detonate a car bomb on the leader of the ‘militia police’ in the region (Badakhshan), the apostate ‘Abdul Haq Omar,’ after monitoring him while he was heading with his guards to his office is in the nearby police headquarters near his home in the city of (Faizabad), which resulted in his death, along with a number of his guards, and the wounding of others, praise be to God.
Amaq Agency published a videotape hours after the operation, showing the moment of the major explosion that directly targeted the leader and his guards, causing their death. The killed leader is considered one of the most prominent militia leaders whom the Mujahideen succeeded in overthrowing since they came to power from the American forces.
It is noteworthy that the bombing came days after the militia closed most of the religious schools, which the militia labels as ‘takfiri’ in the Badakhshan region, for violating the Sufi and heretical doctrines that, at the time the car was detonated on the commander of the ‘militia police’ in the (Badakhshan) region, a large number of the militia follow.”
ISIS Al-Naba Newsletter Edition 372, Published January 5, 2023
“About 50 members of the Taliban militia were killed or wounded this week in a qualitative martyrdom operation at the entrance to (Kabul Military Airport), whose hero was one of the perpetrators of the attack on the Chinese hotel in (Kabul) weeks ago, which constituted a strong blow to the militia and its spokesmen who claimed at the time, ‘the elimination of 3 of the attackers.’ The new attack undermines the credibility of the statements of this militia and confirms that its leaders are investigating premeditated lies. The Mujahideen also assassinated two Pakistani intelligence spies in two separate attacks in the border areas with Afghanistan.”
“And in the details, by the grace of God Almighty, on Thursday (5 Jumada al-Akhira), the soldiers of the Caliphate targeted a spy of the apostate Pakistani intelligence, in the area of (Birbala) in (Peshawar), with pistol shots, which led to his death, just as they targeted on the next day, Friday, a second spy of the intelligence in the Khar region of Bajaur, in the same way, which led to his death, praise be to God.”
“The heavy surprise came to the apostates, when the security sources of the Mujahideen in that attack revealed the identity of Manf, to show that he was one of the perpetrators of the Chinese hotel attack weeks ago, after he succeeded in withdrawing from the hotel after completing the operation and returning to his attack, his brothers in peace, before the second denied the attack. May God accept him, thus combining fighting communists and apostates. Many Muslim activists on the Internet have praised the martyrdom operation - accept it with the permission of God -, and they considered it an image of the ‘high aspiration’ that characterizes the soldiers of the Islamic State, and the extent of the strength of the faith of these heroes in the unseen, the judiciary and fate - we consider them as such -, and on the other hand People and observers mocked the militia leaders and their false spokesmen who went out that day and announced the elimination of three attackers!’ Today it becomes clear that this was a pure lie with premeditation and investigation!”
“In this regard, a private source confirmed to Al-Naba that this particular incident is only one example that shows everyone the extent to which the Taliban militia has reached in lying at the international and local levels, with regard to the results of the attacks and the successive losses and failures in its ranks. The tongue of the militia leaders and spokesmen is a natural result of walking in the ranks of the apostate governments and regimes that sell ‘illusion’ to their masters and operators in exchange for persuading them of their eligibility to ‘fight jihad’ which America calls ‘terrorism’ and the Taliban and its sisters call it ‘external!’”
“On this occasion, the source revealed to (al-Naba) a part of the secret of the attacker, where the source said that the brother Abdul-Jabbar is from (Tajikistan), and he spent most of his life outside his country, and he was kind, well-behaved and loyal to the truth. From the money that prepares him to live the life of luxury and amusement that young people fight over today in pre-Islamic societies, however, this world with its adornment and adornment did not divert him from the path of jihad that he undertook in obedience to God Almighty accompanied by a number of his Tajik brothers.”
“The source explained to (al-Naba) that brother Abdul-Jabbar had registered his name in the office of the martyrs a long time ago, and after the killing of some of his brothers he insisted on avenging them, and he began urging his princes to expedite sending him to carry out a martyrdom operation in the darkest and most difficult goal they saw, and after persistence and urgency His brothers chose him to be one of the perpetrators of the attack on the Chinese hotel in the heart of (Kabul), and the world saw his will, accompanied by his brother - may God accept them - as they pledged allegiance to the caliph Aba al-Hasani al-Quraysh (may God protect him) to be a blood oath, then he executed him after completing his mission in the attack, and by God’s grace To withdraw through the windows of the hotel, as you have seen on the visionary screens, and he contacted his brothers and they were able to secure his way back, with the grace of God Almighty, so that he would return to his brothers with greater determination and determination to kill and fight for the sake of God Almighty.”
“Where the source confirmed to (al-Naba) that Abd al-Jabbar, after the success of the Chinese hotel operation and his safe return to his brothers, did not feel comfortable for him, and he continued to pray to God to go to the homes of the martyrs. And his princes responded to him and chose him again to be the hero of the martyrdom operation over the gathering of the apostates at the gate of the (Kabul military airport), so that God would unite him between fighting the communists and the apostates, and his story would be a living example for the Muslim youth in giving, benevolence and loyalty.”
“It is noteworthy that the soldiers of the Caliphate in the province of Khorasan overthrew, during the past week, one of the most prominent security leaders of the Taliban militia, along with a number of his guards, by detonating a car bomb in the region (Badakhshan) in northern Afghanistan, after intensive monitoring of his movements.”
2. Pro-ISIS Online Chatter
“#Khorasan. The country is plunged into complete darkness due to the long interruption in financing electricity. The speaker also complains about the lack of water and that it has been cut off for 9 months.
Which raises confusion and wonder, where does the 40 million dollars in cash go that the apostate Taliban militia receives once or twice a month?? We will not ask for hardship the millions spent specifically to support the militia’s war on Islam.
The Islamic State, may God bless it, at the height of the siege and the continuous bombardment 24/7, it was striving to provide electricity and water, despite the near impossibility of the matter.
#Ukraine is immersed in darkness, and it is supported by the West with stacked billions, and its neighbors provide electricity, gas and water, yet the outages continue…
And the apostate Taliban militia claims empowerment, rule, and the economy of the country is in its pocket, and millions of Americans are guaranteed every week, so it worked in filling its pockets, sending the families of the leaders across the oceans, and preventing the education of girls and their daughters studying in 5-star schools in #Pakistan and the two states of #Qatar and #Khamarat ...”
“#Khorasan. Magian Iran appoints a former officer in the Quds Force of the Iranian Magian Guard as its ambassador to the apostate Taliban militia.
After the recent scandal caused by the leaking of the discussion of the former Iranian ambassador, Bahadur Aminian, about the plans of the Magi in Afghanistan, the position of ambassador was assumed by the Iranian special representative, the Magusi Hassan Kazemi Kumi.
Consider the dog's joy over his unclean master.”
“#Meditation. The malicious Taliban is only hostile to the Sunnis, and it has admitted that it fights ‘Salafi Wahhabism’ and does not have mercy on those who believe in its belief, and says ‘The Shiites are our brothers and Iran is an Islamic state!!’
Indeed, look at the state of the areas that were controlled by the Taliban, you find polytheistic rituals today in the Taliban areas pervading the cities, and the pictures and banners of Al-Hussein are everywhere.
These polytheists are at the base of the perishing dementia and its wicked and cursed sheikhs; Mujahideen on the methodology that is pleasing to God the Most High, in fact they are a purer methodology than the state that was established on following the righteous predecessors, established God’s religion and its limits on the earth and reverted to God, published Sunni books, and prevented even the Christians from establishing their rituals as well as killing the polytheists.
You should know that the Taliban does not fight the Afghan army ideologically, but rather says that they are agents and aggressors, their situation is like the case of the perished Ahmed Yassin with the Jews, as he says, ‘Our fighting against the Jews is not for an ideological reason, but rather because they are aggressors, and if my brother attacks me, I will kill him.’
Here, we have to ask the enemies of God, the apostates of Al Qaeda, the Awakenings, the Priests of Levant, and all those who celebrated and cheered those alleged victories!!
Can you today or tomorrow migrate to the Taliban, can you incite your followers to migrate?
This is despite the fact that the Taliban does not call for immigration to it because it is not on something, and is committed to the terms of its American masters, and it has stated time and again that the Taliban’s fighting is over and it will not be opened again.”
“#Khorasan. An explosive device exploded in the sixth district of the city of Takhar, killing a member of the apostate Taliban militia and wounding two other guards of the apostate Qari Lal Muhammad, the region's security commander.”
“#Khorasan. The apostate Taliban militia closes the doors of universities in the face of female students.
It is noteworthy that the apostate Taliban, since assuming power, have prevented girls from going to school from all levels, the latest of which is universities.
Note that all the daughters of the leaders are studying abroad; In the state of #Qatar and #Pakistan) with high-end schools and universities, and alimony from the people's money...”
“#Pakistan. This is how the apostate Pakistani police treat displaced Afghan children. Tied together.”
“#Spider's home. Disputes between the elements of the apostate Taliban militia and the leadership in Helmand have reached their peak, and accusations have become public.
An audio recording appeared on the Internet talking about the conflicts in the provinces of Helmand and Kandahar, which arose between the elements of the apostate Taliban militia.
She says that there are many conflicts between the security forces of the new regime, and that is why the militia is divided into fanatical groups on geographical and tribal bases, and has begun to suppress others from other regions.
This situation sparked outrage among the apostate militia in Kandahar, who left Helmand with their weapons and belongings.
They blamed the leaders of the apostate militia and even the tyrant, the disgraced tyrant himself, for the reason for the increase in divisions among the elements of the apostate militia in the south, and this is due to the selective application of Sharia and the preferential treatment of some over others.
These divisions between the Taliban prove that their leadership now is not one as it was before, they are divided into groups, directions and tribal structures...”
“#Khorasan. The apostate Taliban militia released two Americans who were being held by it, and sent them on a Qatari plane to the state of Qatar.”
“An American media revealed that the Afghan ‘Taliban’ movement had released two American prisoners.
And CNN quoted informed sources today, Tuesday, that the two American citizens are on their way to Qatar after their release, according to Sputnik.
She explained that one of the Americans who was released was director Ivor Shearer, who was arrested by the authorities of the Taliban (an organization subject to sanctions due to accusations of terrorist activities) while filming in Kabul in August.
As for the second person, his identity was not disclosed at the request of his family.
The Taliban movement seized power in Afghanistan on August 15, 2021, coinciding with the withdrawal of the United States and NATO forces from the country.”
“#comment. The Americans’ deal will be paid in cash into the pockets of the Taliban’s tyrants.”
“#Khorasan. Bulk resignations of university professors and a strike by male students over the decision of the apostate Taliban militia to prevent builders from learning.
Imagine that after this decision, she will not be a doctor or a nurse in the future in the country.
We are waiting for patchwork professionals, apostasy captives.”
“#to post. Emirate of embassies!
The images of the leaders of these movements and organizations that are addicted to touring the palaces of the tyrants of the East and the West, and lying on the thresholds of their embassies in search of ‘legitimacy’ and ‘support,’ are movements that lack Islamic legitimacy, and that victory passes through these Crusader embassies and departs from them, begging for their support, and defeat Two sides of the same coin, which can only be spent in the markets of humiliation and servitude to other than God.
Indeed, jihad after the validity of monotheism is a source of honor for Muslims, and those in charge of its cause who are steadfast in it are the dearest of the people of the earth, even if they are burned in the trenches, and those who abandon it, those who neglect it and prey on its path, are the most humiliated and insignificant of people, even if palaces and hotels were opened to them, and the one who looks at these apostate movements and entities as they make pilgrimages to The embassies of the unbelievers ask for their love, and beg for crumbs from them, knowing with certainty that they are far from jihad and monotheism after the East.
The news issue 355.”
“#Meditation. Some of the Shiite polytheistic rituals that prevail in Afghan cities continue in the province of Ghazni, which was controlled by the Taliban gangs.
Suppose, for the sake of argument, that one of the Muslims in their regions made a stall like this and began to sell the books of the pious predecessors and hung the banner of monotheism behind him. Will this polytheistic movement leave him?
The question is drawn by the wearers of the base and a large broth.”
“#Khorasan. Press sources reported that while the apostate Taliban militia in Afghanistan is preventing girls' schools from reopening, more than 22 senior leaders in the militia are sending their daughters to schools in Doha, Peshawar and Karachi.
The sources stated that the leaders include Qalandar Ibad, acting head of the Ministry of Public Health of the apostate Taliban militia, Deputy Foreign Minister Sher Muhammad Abbas Stanikzai, and Suhail Shaheen, the militia's candidate for Afghanistan's seat in the godless nations.
The sources said that the daughter of Suhail Shaheen and his three sons are studying in public schools in Doha, where the Taliban political office is located.
And that Suhail Shaheen's daughter was also a member of her school's football team.
The sources added that Abbas Stanikzai's daughter graduated from a well-known school in Doha and graduated from the medical college in the city.
As for Qalandar Ibad, he provided medical education to his daughter, and that his daughter is now working as a doctor in Islamabad, the capital of Pakistan.”
“#See. The infidel Piers Morgan gathers the hypocritical apostate Shaheen…
The infidel asked if it was true that his two daughters went to school.
The hypocrite stammered reluctantly that it was true.
The infidel individual, of course, is studying because they are already in #Doha…
The hypocrite falsely argued that it was permissible for them to go to study as long as they wore a hijab!
If allowing girls to learn is related to their veiling, and by God they are no less veiled than your women, and let us not forget the female journalists in your channels who are sad about their feelings.
If hypocrisy had a form, it would be embodied in the apostate Taliban and its damned captives.”
“#See. Hypocrisy of the apostate Taliban militia…
They promised women education on the day they assumed power, and today they return in their vomit.
On the other hand, their daughters are abroad, overseas, studying in prestigious universities and at the expense of Mama America.

Since yesterday, there have been reports of a coup against Al-Masredab Akhund and the attempt of the intelligence officer, Haqqani, to install himself as the emir of the apostate militia, and suggested to Yaqoub the position of prime minister, while Mullah Omar’s son opposed him, as he was more deserving of it, according to his proposal. As for the spy, Barader, he wants to install the current prime minister; Hasan Akhund, Emir, and his successor in office.
While Pakistan's intelligence is trying hard to control matters to prevent a possible defection, with its full support for the Haqqani intelligence…
All this coincides with the widespread spread of armed elements in the vicinity of the homes of those concerned, including foreigners.
Time will tell to prove or disprove it.”
“#Khorasan. The dormitory of medical students on their way home after the #Taliban_ignorance militia prevented women from seeking knowledge.
With the stupidity and ignorance of donkeys, there will be no female doctors, teachers, and nurses in the future, so they do not care about their daughters studying abroad, and receiving treatment in the hospitals of the state of Qatar and the mufflers…”

The apostate Taliban militia rushed through its embassy in Pakistan to condemn the attack and expressed its deep sorrow for the victims and labeled the perpetrator a suicide.

“#See. While the apostate Taliban militia deprived women of their rights, the Islamic State had unique shopping centers for women only, providing them with work with respect and privacy.
They also opened their own schools and universities with an innovative educational system based on the tolerant Islamic Sharia.
To learn the difference between ruling by the revealed Sharia and the rejected tribal ruling…”

The juggernaut Mottaki referred to the good relations between the two countries and thanked the former Majusi ambassador Bahadur Aminian (who came up with the idea of rejecting the Taliban as its sister Hamas), wishing him success in his new job.
It is noteworthy that the former Magusi ambassador was succeeded by a former officer in the Magusi Guard, and your understanding is sufficient.”

“The child Muhammad Waseem, 8 years old, from the village of Khaniz in Bazark district in #Panjshir. Yesterday 2/01/2023, he went to school with his friend to receive their exam results. On the way back home, they were stopped by a car belonging to the apostate #Taliban_militia, in which they were riding in disbelievers.
The apostates put both boys in the back of a car and said they would drive them to their village. After a while, Muhammad Waseem and his friend realize that the car has passed their village and they are heading to a different place...
The two children started screaming and hitting the roof of the car from behind, begging the apostates to stop, but to no avail. The two children panicked and jumped out of the moving car when it passed two other villages.
After the two apostates realized that Wassim and another child had thrown themselves from the back of the car, they fled the scene instead of stopping the car.
After a while, they were found unconscious by passers-by, and they were taken to the emergency hospital in Panjshir with their relatives summoned.
Doctors indicated that the children should be transferred to Kabul as soon as possible. But Muhammad Wasim died at the same time. His friend is also in critical condition and his survival is almost non-existent.
When the body of the child, Ahmed Wassim, was taken to his home, members of the apostate Taliban militia came in a hurry. And when they discovered that the child had fallen from the back of their Ranger car, they left the place and did not return after that.”
“#Khorasan. The tyrant of the Ministry of Non-Education and Ignorance in the apostate Taliban militia, the apostate Nada Muhammad Nadeem declares:

This is not the first time that the rejectionists of Iran and the rejectionists of the Hazara, along with the rejectionists of the Taliban, celebrate the anniversary of the destruction of the impure butcher of Muslims.”
“#Follows. #Khorasan. It turned out that the kidnappers were not just members of the apostate Taliban militia, but were affiliated with its intelligence, and one of the perishers, Abdul Majeed Ahmadi, known as Mawlawi Abbas, is the brother of the governor of the Kut region.”

“#Khorasan. A number of sources, including those loyal to the apostate #Taliban_militia, circulated that one of the most prominent active leaders in the militia, Mobin Khan (aka General Mobin) was arrested by the security forces.
