* A delegation from the #security ministries&Ministry for Propagation of Virtue&the Prevention of Vice was tasked to investigate the complaints of national #traders& money changers& ensure their security.
* The Ministry of Agriculture has been tasked to come up with a plan to address the problems of the people in #winter season by preventing #logging & fuel shortages, with preserving forests& facilitating the transportation & use of the dry wood (#firewood for heating purposes).
* All ministries& independent agencies should carefully evaluate their relevant #laws, #decrees and #regulations of the previous government and submit to the IEA Cabinet Meeting for #review 'any part which has contradiction with the #Shariah or create administrative problems'.
An alleged #TTP member wrote on twitter:
"Over the past few days, there have been reports of talks between the TTP& #PAK government/army:
* There is no progress yet.
* Prisoners release is the first condition but not fulfilled yet.
* About talks, all TTP is on the same platform.
* Both parties don't confirm talks to media, for caution.
* The #IEA may be a mediator, but neutral. Even it is possible that IEA as a mujahidin movement be more in favor of TTP.
* Attempts to spoil negotiations, make it unconditional& to prove it failed, are already neutralized.
* TTP will definitely not hold unconditional or non-Sharia talks, inshallah."
The @indypersian provided some details about the mysteriously killing of 4 women in #Mazar-e Sharif.
They were allegedly decepted by unknown people disguised as representatives of a human rights organization. The victims were promised evacuation from #AFG. independentpersian.com/node/189501/%D…
Engineer Abdul Rahman Safi, father of a victim, #Ferozan_Safi, says that his daughter left home with travel documents at 2pm on Wednesday, October 27, after receiving a call. She told her family members that she was going to go abroad with the help of a human rights organization.
"Two hours after Ferozan left the house, her contacts with us were cut off," said Mr. Safi, as reported by @indypersian. "During the search for her, when we went to the city's central hospital, we found her body there, with signs of multiple bullets."
Today's #explosion in #Kabul City was reportedly part of a #Complex_Attack against Sardar Daud Khan military hospital. A clash between unknown attackers& the #Taliban is still ongoing, as eye witnesses reported. #ISKP is the prime suspect behind the attack.
No confirmed info yet.
#IEA's Ministry of Interior:
"A bomb detonated at the entrance of a 400-bed hospital in Kabul's PD10. IEA SoF have reached the area. The blast caused casualties. Details will be shared later."
Note: '400-bed hospital' is the old name of Daud Khan hospital.
While one person was shot killed by unknown gunmen today morning in #Jalalabad, @bsarwary now reported about 12 hanged bodies in various parts of the city. #Extrajudicial_killings in Jalalabad is a new normal but 12 hanged bodies in one day, if confirmed, will be a shocking news.
#ISKP claimed responsibility for today morning's target killing of an alleged #Taliban intelligence agent in #Jalalabad City:
"Caliphate soldiers targeted a member of the intelligence of the Taliban, in PD5 of Jalalabad City, with pistol shots, which led to his death."
#Target_killings in #Nangarhar Province continue. Shinwari Kara News reported about two new incidents in the province, as follow: 1. On Thursday evening, at 07:00 PM, unknown gunmen shot and killed a person in Farm-e Adda area of PD6 in #Jalalabad. No more details are available.
#Nangarhar Governor Office:
Scores of Ahl-e-Hadith scholars pledged allegiance to #IEA in Nangarhar today.
"We are not in favor of revenge& violence. Anyone can live peacefully under the Islamic Emirate of #AFG using the #amnesty announced by the IEA," Nangarhar governor said.
This comes as extrajudicial killings continue in Nangarhar, mainly in Jalalabad City.
Last night a religious scholar teaching at a local Madrassa was shot killed in Qasaba area of Jalalabad.
Meanwhile, two young men were found dead today morning near the ring road in Jalalabad.
There are also UNCONFIRMED reports about #ISKP flags in Dehraud District of #Uruzgan (see the below tweet).
Note: No ISKP activity was reported in Uruzgan Province since the official announcement of the IS offshoot in Afghanistan, in January 2015.
