Following is the March 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.
In March 2023, ISIS-linked propaganda outlets resumed reporting on attacks by the group in Afghanistan. In several messages and posts, several high-profile attacks were highlighted, the killing of the Taliban governor of Balkh province, Mohammad Dawood Muzammil, on March 9 in Mazar-e Sharif, an attack on a Shiite cultural center in the same city on March 11, as well as an attack near the foreign ministry in Kabul on March 27. Additionally, ISIS-linked online outlets reported on several shootings in Herat in recent weeks, the most recent being the killing of the Taliban official in charge of the water supply department in the city on March 8. The fact that ISIS-linked outlets published the videos of these shootings in Heart is reminiscent of the early ISIS online propaganda tactic in Iraq from 2014 onwards, which regularly published videos of such incidents to instill fear among the local population and the adversaries of the group. These attacks in Afghanistan also demonstrate that the slight reduction in terrorist activities by the group during the winter months has ended. Furthermore, these propaganda reports also intend to show that, despite continuing attempts by the Taliban to suppress Islamic State Khorasan Province (ISKP), its ability to target high-ranking officials and key installations in the country remains intact.
Mohammad Dawood Muzammil was the highest-ranking Taliban official killed by ISKP since the former’s takeover of Afghanistan in August 2021. Before assuming his position in Balkh, Muzammil was Taliban governor in Nangarhar Province after serving as first deputy minister of interior of the Taliban regime. The inability of the Taliban to protect such a prominent member of the movement is striking, particularly since Muzammil was killed by a suicide bomber inside his office in Mazar-e Sharif. Furthermore, only two days after this significant attack, ISIS operatives were able to again target a high-profile event, the gathering of journalists at a Shiite center in the city. These attacks demonstrate that ISKP can maintain a very effective network in the province. Incidents such as these also underline the current assessment of the U.S. military that ISKP in Afghanistan is likely to be able to conduct attacks outside Afghanistan within the next six months.

As in previous months, pro-ISIS online propaganda continued highlighting Taliban cronyism and corruption. In particular, the resignation of the acting finance minister of the Taliban regime, Mawlawi Hidayatullah Badri, a.k.a. Gul Agha Ishakzai, in March presented a propaganda opportunity for ISIS. According to media reports, Badri resigned over the misappropriation of funds by the Taliban leadership. The resignation of Badri was a blow to the Ishakzai faction within the Taliban movement. He was their highest-ranking member in the Kabul power structure. A childhood friend of former Taliban leader Mullah Omar, Badri headed the finance commission of the Taliban before August 2021 and is designated as a global narcotics trafficker by the US government. Badri’s subsequent appointment as acting governor of Da Afghanistan Bank, the central bank of Afghanistan, is not a lateral move but a downgrade of his position within the Taliban power structure.
Continuing its propaganda line that the Taliban are connected to narcotics, several pro-ISIS propaganda posts alleged in March that the Taliban had concluded a contract with a pharmaceutical company for the commercial production of hashish and that the Taliban would share narcotics with “the Germans.” This refers to news reports from the end of 2021, which indicated that the Taliban were in negotiations with a German company named Entwicklungsgesellschaft CPharm International mbH (ECI) concerning a potential investment in Afghanistan. However, it is unclear whether this deal ever came to fruition. The website of the German company only refers to ongoing talks about the investment with the Taliban and has not been updated since December 2021.
Pro-ISIS online propaganda highlighted alleged disagreements within the Taliban leadership concerning the education of women and girls in Afghanistan in February 2023. The topic remains a contentious one in Afghanistan. Already in December 2022, the Taliban announced that women are no longer allowed to work for national and international non-governmental organizations in the country. The issue seemed to have been partially resolved at the beginning of 2023, with several international humanitarian organizations resuming operations in Afghanistan. However, at the beginning of April 2023, the United Nations Assistance Mission in Afghanistan (UNAMA) was informed that the Taliban had decided that women can no longer work for United Nations organizations in the country. As this would greatly affect the provision of humanitarian support and support for basic human needs by the United Nations in Afghanistan, this apparent decision by the Taliban leadership was strongly condemned by the Secretary General of the United Nations. In 2022, the United Nations and its partner organizations provided aid to 26.1 million Afghans, more than half the country’s population. Therefore, endangering these vital operations for Afghan civilians by prohibiting a significant part of the United Nations workforce in the country from operating is another striking demonstration that for the Taliban regime, key ideological decisions trump the survival of their compatriots.
Not only have the Taliban repeated their contentious relationship with United Nations humanitarian organizations in Afghanistan from the 1990s, but the regime also seems to have reverted to taking Western hostages to pressure governments to engage with it directly rather than primarily through aid organizations. At the beginning of April 2023, the U.K. government announced that three British citizens were arrested by the Taliban intelligence service in January 2023 and held since without consular access or clear charges. In mid-March, the Taliban also arrested two Polish citizens and accused them of espionage, forcing Poland to engage directly with the Taliban regime to secure their release after a few weeks. Two U.S. filmmakers were arrested by the Taliban in August 2022 and held on unspecified charges until December of that year. These behavioral patterns demonstrate that the current Taliban regime is not only led by the same team of Taliban leaders as in the 1990s, but is also systematically reverting to its old tactics in dealing with the international community, including behavior that is to the detriment of the Afghan population.

There were no ISIS-K news items in this week’s al-Naba.
“This week, the soldiers of the Caliphate in Khorasan Province inflicted at least seven deaths and injuries among the Taliban militia, including an administrative leader, with a qualitative and daring operation in the city of (Herat) in western Afghanistan, in the third attack of its kind in the same city and in the same way.”
“In particular, and in the details, a security source told (Al-Naba) that an Inghamasia of the Caliphate’s soldiers attacked on Wednesday (16th Sha’ban) a car that was carrying an administrative leader of the apostate Taliban militia, accompanied by a number of guards and militia members, while it was passing through (District 15) in the city of (Herat). The source explained that the Mujahid appeared in broad daylight and fired from his machine gun directly and accurately and from a very close distance at the passengers of the car, which resulted in the killing of the leader along with a number of his companions and wounding others.”
“The source confirmed to Al-Naba that the mujahid who carried out the attack returned safely to his bases, praise be to God. It is noteworthy that the attack, which took place in broad daylight and in full view of all the people in the street, came days after the militia leaders profusely once again talked about their success in stopping the operations of the militia. The Mujahideen, similar to dozens of previous statements that used to hide each time behind the bullets of the Mujahideen, which dispelled the illusion of the Taliban, as it dispelled before the illusion of its allies in Washington.”
“It should be noted that it is not the first time that the soldiers of the Islamic State carry out daring attacks of this kind in the city of (Herat) and in broad daylight as well. The second attack was on (2/Rabi’ al-Akher) of this year, when the two attacks targeted two Taliban buses, resulting in the killing and wounding of about 30 militia members. At the time, Amaq Agency published two video tapes of the two attacks, which included bold footage of the Mujahideen attacking the buses and shooting from a distance. Close face to face without any significant resistance from the militia.”
“This week, the Rafidite Iranian regime and its allies in the Taliban received two successive painful blows. The first was the assassination of a senior official in the Taliban militia who held the position of ‘Governor of Balkh Province’ and was an obedient servant of the Iranian regime, past and present, with a qualitative martyrdom attack that hit the leader in his headquarters and among his entourage in (Balkh). The Mujahideen followed it up with a second strike only two days later, targeting the Rafidite (Al-Tebyan) center, with a booby-trapped bag that killed and wounded about 30 of the followers of the Rafidite Iran, including members of the militia who were guarding the center which the Mujahideen had previously struck years ago with a major martyrdom attack that overthrew dozens of the Rafidah, including the director of the center.”
“And in the details, with the grace of God Almighty, one of the Knights of Martyrdom, brother (Abdul-Haqq Khorasani) - may God Almighty accept him - set out on the morning of Thursday (17 / Shaban), heading to the headquarters of the governor of the region (Balkh) in northern Afghanistan, the apostate called ‘Muhammad Dawood Muzammil’ the prominent leader in The militia, where the Mujahid was able to enter the headquarters after bypassing all the security measures of the militia around its administrative and security headquarters, and he stayed inside the headquarters waiting for the leader to arrive at his office, and as soon as he saw him heading to his office, the martyrdom brother rushed to him, detonating his explosive belt on him directly, which resulted in his death along with a number of his guards, praise be to God.”
“The dead leader had held several prominent positions in the ranks of the militia before and after the US withdrawal, where he was appointed ‘Deputy Military Committee’ for the militia prior to the US withdrawal, and after signing peace with America, he was appointed ‘Deputy Minister of Interior of the Taliban.’ During the American campaign against the Mujahideen in (Nangarhar), the apostate was appointed ‘governor of the Nangarhar region’ and led the military war against the Mujahideen and their families there, coinciding with the American campaign, which was a practical proof by the militia about its seriousness in combating the jihad that America describes as ‘terrorism’ and the Taliban describes those responsible for it as ‘kharijites’.”
“The slain leader was known for his distinguished relationship with the Rafidite Iranian regime for many years, especially during his field activity in the areas near the Iranian borders, even before the militia assumed power. He was also known for his hostility and his fight against those belonging to what is known as the ‘Salafi movement’ in general, which explains the reasons for his distinguished relationship with Rafidite Iran, which strives to spread Shiism in Afghanistan, noting that he is not the only one among the militia leaders who has distinguished relations with the Iranian regime, especially if we know that turning towards the Iranian axis is an official option at the level of the militia leadership, and whoever approached Iran did not succeed.”
“The Islamic State’s statements about the attack carried threatening messages to the militia leaders, stating: ‘The mill of war is raging against them, that the days are short, and that the coming is worse and worse, God willing.’ The sources of the Mujahideen also confirmed that this qualitative strike that the Taliban received today ‘is not the first.’ It will not be the last, God willing. During the past few years, the soldiers of the caliphate killed many prominent leaders in the militia, the last of whom was months ago the ‘chief of police of Badakhshan region’ who was killed by a car bomb, just as the mujahideen killed the former ‘commander of Kabul unit’ in the apostate militia ‘Hamd Allah Mukhlis’ during the attack on The largest military hospital run by the militia in the center of (Kabul), and the media described the dead man at the time as ‘the greatest leader to be killed since the Taliban took power,’ and it is the same phrase that they renewed today after the killing of the ‘governor of Balkh province.’ Who will play the role of the Taliban leaders next time? We ask God to direct the Mujahideen's shot.”
“In a related context, on Saturday (19 Shaban), the soldiers of the Caliphate managed to plant and detonate a booby-trapped bag inside the Rafidi (Al-Tebyan) center, in the (Balkh) region, northern Afghanistan. The bombing targeted a party held by the Rafidi center in the presence of a number of apostate journalists fighting the Mujahideen, with the guarding and participation of the apostate Taliban militia, which resulted in the death and injury of about 30 of them, and great damage to the targeted center. Praise be to God, and the attack came only two days after the assassination of the ‘Governor of Balkh’ in the same city, to translate the Mujahideen's threats into action, and prove once again the success of the Islamic State in repeating its strikes against painful targets in a record period of time and in the same place, as well as confirming the failure of the Taliban in securing its allies loyal to the Iranian regime, which greatly strengthened its relationship with the militia after it came to power, and they now have a common goal in fighting the mujahideen.”
“It is noteworthy that the Mujahideen had previously targeted the Rafidi (Al-Tebyan) center, with a major martyrdom attack in the year 1439 AH in the capital (Kabul), which resulted in the death of dozens of Rafidis, including the center’s director. The aforementioned center receives direct Iranian support, and is responsible for spreading Shiism among Afghan youth under the cover of ‘social, cultural and media activities...,’ as the center has been very active over the past years, in recruiting the Afghan Rafidites and sending them to supply the Rafidite militias in the Levant with individuals to fight the Muslims under the banner of the ‘Fatemiyoun Militia’ and other Rafidite militias. This week is sad for the Iranian regime and its allies, as the Mujahideen overthrew the ‘ruler of Balkh Province’ who was an obedient servant of Iran for many years, then they praised the bombing of a Shiite center affiliated with Iran, which prompted the Iranian government to ‘condemn the two attacks together,’ and no wonder, So the pain is shared and the judgment is one, and God is our Lord and there is no Lord for them.”
“The soldiers of the Caliphate in Khorasan Province had inflicted, during the past week, about seven dead and wounded in the ranks of the Taliban militia, including an administrative commander, with a qualitative and daring operation in the city of (Herat) in western Afghanistan. Amaq Agency presented a videotape of the operation that took place in broad daylight.”
“This week, the soldiers of the Caliphate in Khorasan killed a member of the Taliban militia and wounded four others, including two leaders, and destroyed one of their vehicles, in two separate attacks in the regions of (Kabul) and (Nangarhar) in Khorasan.”
“And in the details, by the grace of God Almighty, the soldiers of the Caliphate targeted, on Wednesday (23/Shaaban), a member of the apostate Taliban militia, in (District 5) in the city of (Kabul), with pistol shots, which led to his death, and praise be to God. A security source added to (Al-Naba) that the targeted element is one of the militia pretenders who were involved in fighting the Mujahideen and inciting against them.”
“In a related context, the soldiers of the Caliphate detonated an explosive device, on Wednesday (23/Shaban) on a vehicle that was carrying the governor of the (Sherizade) region, accompanied by another commander and two guards, in the (Nangarhar) region in eastern Afghanistan, which led to its destruction and the wounding of all those in it. Various injuries, thank God.”
“The soldiers of the Caliphate in the province of Khorasan had dealt two painful blows to the Rafidite Iranian regime and its allies in the Taliban this week. The first was the assassination of a senior official in the Taliban militia holding the position of ‘Governor of Balkh Province’ and who was an obedient servant of the Iranian regime, past and present, with a qualitative martyrdom attack that struck the leader in his headquarters. And among his entourage in (Balkh), to be followed by the Mujahideen with a second strike after only two days, targeting the Rafidi (Al-Tebyan) center, with a booby-trapped bag that killed and wounded about 30 followers of the Rafidite Iran, including militia members who were guarding the center.”
“About 20 people were killed and wounded this week among the employees and guards of the headquarters of the ‘Foreign Ministry of the Taliban Militia’ in the second martyrdom operation targeting the same headquarters, which is located within a fortified security area in the center of the capital (Kabul), in a practical indication of the superiority of the security effort of the Mujahideen against the continuous security failure of the militia in the file ‘Fighting the Jihad,’ while the Mujahideen assassinated a Pakistani intelligence spy on the other side of the border, which the Mujahideen seek to remove by force.”
“And in the details, with the grace of God Almighty, on Monday (5/Ramadan), one of the knights of martyrdom, brother (Abdul Hamid Khorasani) - may God accept him - set out towards the foreign headquarters of the apostate Taliban militia, in the center of the capital (Kabul), after passing all the fortifications and security measures imposed by it. According to the predetermined plan, the martyred brother waited for the moment the Foreign Ministry employees exited the headquarters gate, then detonated his explosive belt on them, specifically near a checkpoint in front of the headquarters building, which resulted in the death of about 20 people and wounded them, including ‘diplomatic’ employees, as well as members of the militia and militia guards.”
“As usual, the militia hastened to impose a security cordon on the area, and prevented anyone from reaching the site of the attack, as a prelude to weaving its own version of the attack, so the official version of the Taliban came quickly through its spokesman in (Kabul), where he said: ‘In the square of Malik Asghar, (Mujahid) was spotted He killed him at a checkpoint, before reaching his target, but the explosives he had exploded!’
The Taliban narrative that it stopped the bomber and did not stop the bombing; She claimed that the Mujahid had not reached his goal, without daring to name this target, to escape the heavy confession that the attack had targeted the headquarters of its ‘foreign ministry’ again, despite the strict security measures in this particular area.
The contradictions in the Taliban’s narrative did not stop there, claiming that the attack, after being foiled, resulted in the ‘killing of 6 civilians,’ following the tyrants’ habit of floating results and misleading the observer. After the bombing, employees of the ‘Foreign Ministry’ published pictures of at least two of the ‘diplomats’ working in the targeted headquarters. One of the crusading institutions also announced a ‘preliminary outcome’ in which it said that its hospital ‘received 12 wounded and two dead,’ while several media outlets reported that ‘four Foreign Ministry employees and two members of the militia were wounded, and at least 13 other guards from the Ministry of Foreign Affairs and militiamen were injured.’ On the international and political level, the ‘Crusader Security Council’ hastened to 'condemn the attack' that targeted the ‘Taliban Foreign Ministry,’ and the ‘United Nations’ council considered that ‘terrorism (jihad) threatens peace and security in Afghanistan,’ as they said.”
“The Mujahideen had previously targeted the same headquarters with a similar martyrdom attack less than three months ago, when a martyrdom worker was able to detonate his explosive belt on the staff of the headquarters the moment they left the headquarters gate, killing about 20 in addition to the wounded. The success of the mujahideen in repeatedly targeting the militia’s foreign headquarters, which is a sovereign headquarters in a complex security area full of security and sovereign headquarters of the militia and teeming with security barriers; is a practical indication of the superiority of the security effort of the mujahideen, and necessarily the continued security failure of the militia in combating jihad, which is the condition that brought it back to power. After quietly removing the ‘former regime’ from the scene.”
“On the security level, the soldiers of the Caliphate targeted on Sunday (4/Ramadan) A spy affiliated with the apostate Pakistani intelligence, in the Tarkho area of Bajaur, with pistol shots, which led to his injury and later death of his wounds, according to a private source, and praise be to God.”
“The soldiers of the Caliphate in Khorasan Province had killed, during the past week, a member of the Taliban militia and wounded four others, including two leaders, and destroyed one of their vehicles, in two separate attacks in the regions of (Kabul) and (Nangarhar) in Khorasan.”

Rather, the opposite happened
It is the Taliban who are begging the Americans not to repeat the violations

It is clear from these photos that after executing these people, the guardians of the captives put weapons next to their corpses and took pictures of them to send to their supportive Crusader master.
Eight people with three guns in half an hour, and one uniter occupying them day and night.
Through the pictures, an ignorant person understands that the corpses had their legs and hands tied before their execution, and even a child tells you that the gun was placed on the hand of the dead man.
We told you the actions of the infidel Sisi army in #Sinai, step by step.

“#Khorasan. #follows. The field commander of the Kharijite militia #the apostate Taliban and the governor of #Balkh, the apostate Mohammad Dawood Muzammil, have been liquidated.
The accident occurred in the city of Mazar-i-Sharif. The attack was carried out with an explosive belt inside the office of the apostate provincial governor, where he was holding a meeting with a delegation of Kharijites of the apostate #Taliban from #Kabul. During the blast, many Pashtun nationalists were wiped out.
He gained his reputation as an effective commander through combat operations against the British armed forces in 2003-2004, in Helmand Province. Later, he led the Kharijite Pashtun nationalists in the battles against the militants of the Islamic State in northeastern Afghanistan under American air cover and direct support from the apostate Afghan army.
The operation is considered a major violation of the intelligence services, as the bomber, with his explosive vest, arrived in the midst of a meeting, to say the least, of a ‘high level’ of the leaders of the Kharijites of the apostate Taliban militia.”
“#a witness. #Khorasan. Video footage captured by the security cameras of the Balkh government building. It shows how the porter freely entered the building while he was comfortable, determined, and with steady steps, and went directly to his goal.
The doomed ruler, Mullah Dawood Muzammil, is the most important leader who has been trampled on since the Kharijites of the apostate Taliban militia took power, and he was previously the governor of Nangarhar province and deputy interior minister.
Slowly but surely, the heads of the most powerful tyrants will be cut off, God willing.”
“#Khorasan. Relatives of the child Wathiq Al-Banjshiri, who was run over by a guard belonging to the Kharijites of the apostate Taliban militia yesterday, told them that they buried the body of the child. But the killer is still at large. No retribution, no blood money.”
“#contemplation. This idiot says that people talk about women's rights and that a woman's real right is to feed and drink her and to dress her in the best clothes to take her to bed.
Wow, this idiot and dementia wants to convince the men of Islam that Muslim women are captives in their hands who have no rights except food, drink and sex, while you find his family members and the family members of other leaders loose in the mini-state of Qatar or in Europe and their daughters study in the most luxurious schools and play violin, and they have more rights than rights their men.
These are the Kharijites of the apostate #Taliban militia and snatches of al-Qaeda captives. Their thought does not extend beyond that to the rights of women who live under their tyrannical rule?”

“#Khorasan. The Kharijites of the apostate Taliban militia kidnapped 8 Tajik people from their homes the day before yesterday and shot them on the charge that they were kidnappers.
And today, in full bloom, they announced that they are cooperating with the #Islamic_State in covering up the wave strike that eliminated the most important leader loyal to Iran explicitly.”
“#Khorasan. The resignation of the financial tyrant of the apostate Taliban militia, Mullah Badri, on Wednesday, March 8. According to sources in the apostate militia, the reason for this decision is the dispute with the apostate Taliban tyrant, who leaked Akhundzada over economic issues, squandering money and misusing it for personal interests.”
“News. Afghan media.
Local sources in Balkh say that the Taliban shot 12 residents of this province for allegedly cooperating with the Islamic State.
According to the sources, the Taliban took these people out of their homes last night, and then shot them in Dasht Shadian district of Mazar-i-Sharif city.
According to information, the dead were Tajiks and Hazaras.
According to the sources, among them are four soldiers of the former government.
The Taliban has not said anything about this yet.
It is worth noting that the Taliban movement has already shot dozens of civilians on various charges in separate parts of the country, especially in Balkh.
_________
This gang, after the two successive strikes it received and the opium abuse that licked their minds, those who killed the Hazaras and attributed their cooperation with the state know this, and also terror became running through their veins.”
“#Khorasan. The genocide against the Sunnis and the Salaf in Khurasan is reaching its climax.
The militia of the apostate #Taliban was kidnapped the day before yesterday
In Jalalabad, a local citizen came to the foreign exchange market, and after one day his body was returned to his family without giving reasons.
Most likely, he was the victim of the militia's attempt to avenge the attacks of the soldiers of the Islamic State on its apostate leaders, because Jalalabad is inhabited by a large population of Sunni Salafists, whom the new regime considers hostile to it doctrinally.
Similar incidents occurred in Kunduz and Logar provinces. In the first case, the apostate militia stopped three people from traveling from Balkh Province to Kunduz, killing one and arresting two others, accusing them of being involved with the #Islamic_State. In the second case, the apostates shot a resident of Logar province on the same charges. No evidence was provided for the false allegations.”
“#Khorasan. This morning, an explosion occurred, believed to be an explosive device, in the Rafidi Cultural Center in Tebyan, in the city of Mazar-i-Sharif. According what was reported, the targets were journalists who came to film a report. As a result, 33 people were killed and injured.”
“#Khorasan. The Ministry of Foreign Affairs of the apostate Taliban welcomes the return of relations between the Majus of Iran and the Salul family, describing it as a ‘positive step in the path of strengthening peace and stability’ in the region.”

Especially since Watheq belongs to Ghazni Province, southwestern Afghanistan, and Haqqani sees him as neutral in his stances between him and the Kandaharis, and refuses to change him in any way.
However, Akhundzada aspires through this change to gain full access to all intelligence files and sensitive security issues, because the current head of Taliban intelligence refuses to inform the leader of the movement of all files, whether from the previous or current government, and even his meetings with intelligence officials in other countries.
Rare criticism
These efforts come after the emergence of splits within the Taliban between the Haqqani wing and Akhundzada, especially with the Interior Minister's endeavor to form a semblance of a Shura Council for governance, so that decisions within the movement would not be taken unilaterally. He was already able to woo Defense Minister Muhammad Yaqoub, son of the movement's founder, Mullah Omar. And persuade him to consult with the leaders in order to work seriously on the formation of this council.
Last month, Haqqani directed veiled and rare criticism of the movement’s isolated and far-from-show guide, considering that since the movement took power in Afghanistan in August 2021, the movement should show more patience, with the aim of ‘calming the citizens, and acting in a way that people do not hate and with it they hate religion.’”

This short statement contains unparalleled lies, lies, schizophrenia, and hypocrisy.
The first one announces the end of jihad, the damned lie; Now the fighting has come, and its market will continue until the Hour begins.

Then he says that the countries are unbelievers together with his tongue and his men fly from one country to another begging for recognition and opening embassies and calling them brothers, neighbors and Muslims.

In his statement, the leader of the gang of thieves ordered the officials to remove their sons and relatives from these positions and replace them with experienced commoners.

The sources assured Amaq that this qualitative blow that the militia received today at the top of its leadership hierarchy is not the first and will not be the last, and it is a practical and quick response to the militia leaders' recent allegations of eliminating the activity of the Islamic State.
The killed leader is considered one of the most prominent leaders who held high positions within the militia at the military and administrative levels. He previously held the position of ‘Governor of Nangarhar Province’ and was then involved in leading the military war against Islamic State fighters and their families, in conjunction with the US air campaign against them.

The sources indicated that the bombing targeted a party that was organized inside the Shiite center to honor a number of journalists working in various media agencies that were involved in the war and incitement against the Islamic State.
