According to the local police command, the accused individuals belonged to ‘IS’, the most radical jihadist group currently present in Afghanistan.
The Taliban announced this Sunday that they had killed three members of the Islamic State (IS) organization, accused of having committed “kidnappings”, after three hours of clashes near their hiding place in the town of Herat, in western Afghanistan.
“Three kidnappers, responsible for serious kidnappings in Herat province, were hiding in a building in the Pul-e-Dozan neighborhood in Herat,” said Interior Ministry spokesman Qari Sayed Khosti.
“The special forces surrounded them and there was an exchange of fire. The men were killed during the shootout with the security forces, ”he added.
According to the local police command, these “kidnappers” belonged to IS, the most radical jihadist group currently present in Afghanistan.
Following their return to power on August 15 in Kabul, the Taliban, who made restoring security their priority in a country at war for 20 years, have been confronted with a wave of attacks organized by IS. (I)
