ISIS Shoots Dead Individual Accused of Collaborating with Taliban in Kunar Province
2023-08-06


Local sources have reported that members of ISIS-K rubbed out a civilian on charges of "espionage" for the Taliban
...Arabic for students...
in Kunar Province
...one of the four N2KL provinces (Nangarhar, Nuristan, Kunar and Laghman). N2KL is the designation used by US and Coalition Forces for the rugged and very violent region opposite Pakistain's Federally Administered Tribal Areas and Northwest Frontier Province. Kunar is the center of the N2KL region. Its population is 95% Pashtun. It is adjacent to Bajaur Agency..
The incident was confirmed by sources to Hasht-e Subh on Sunday, August 5th. The event reportedly took place in the Chalas area of the Sukai district within the province.

According to these sources, the victim was rubbed out on Wednesday, August 1st. However,
man does not live by words alone, despite the fact that sometimes he has to eat them...
no information regarding the identity of the dear departed individual has been disclosed thus far.

As of now, local Taliban officials in Kunar have refrained from commenting on this matter.

Based on available information, ISIS fighters are active in various districts of Kunar, including Noorgul, Sukai, Manogai, Chapadara, and other areas. These fighters occasionally target Taliban members.

Despite the Taliban’s claims regarding their success in suppressing ISIS gunnies in Afghanistan, the latter group has recently intensified its activities against the former.

In the most recent ISIS attack, which occurred during a mourning ceremony for a Taliban deputy governor in Badakhshan, several high-ranking members of the group were killed and injured. Dozens of Taliban members also bit the dust in this attack.
