Zabihullah Mujahid, the spokesperson for the Islamic Emirate, announced the arrests of perpetrators behind the recent attacks in Kabul and Bamyan.

Mujahid, in a statement, said that these attacks were carried out by individuals affiliated with the ISIS-Khorasan branch, and they had received training in Mastung, Balochistan.

The spokesperson of the Islamic Emirate said: “The special units and Mujahideen of the Islamic Emirate have arrested important members of the insurgent group who had attacked the employees of the Directorate of Supervision and Prosecution of Decrees and Orders, and were also involved in several other attacks in Kabul and the attack on foreign tourists in Bamyan province.”

On May 17th, an armed attack targeted civilians and foreign nationals in Bamyan, resulting in the death of six people, including three Spanish citizens and three civilians, and injuring seven others, including three locals and four foreign nationals.

Furthermore, on September 2nd, a suicide bomber attacked the employees of the Directorate of Supervision and Prosecution of Decrees and Orders, killing six people and injuring thirteen others.

Zabihullah Mujahid also added that from the hideout of the Kabul attack planner, including both light and heavy military equipment, a Tajikistani national was arrested, who intended to carry out a suicide attack.

Mujahid stressed that after conducting these operations, the leaders and remaining members of the ISIS-Khorasan branch, with the assistance of some intelligence agencies, have been transferred to Balochistan and Khyber Pakhtunkhwa.

“It is evident that 95 percent of the attacks that take place in Afghanistan are planned in Pakistan, and those crimes are then carried out in Afghanistan,” said Aziz Stanekzai, a military analyst.

“It is the responsibility of neighboring countries not to allow terrorist groups to destabilize both Afghanistan and other trans-regional countries. In this regard, there needs to be an international consensus, especially in the fight against terrorism,” said Zalmai Afghan Yar, another military analyst.

The spokesperson of the Islamic Emirate further mentioned that ISIS, using new centers in Balochistan and Khyber Pakhtunkhwa, conducts attacks in Afghanistan and other countries, targeting religious, political, and clerical figures.
