As far as religion is used for justification of killings, this story will not end in AFG.

"As part of the battle of revenge for the 2 Sheikhs, Caliphate soldiers detonated an explosive device on a #Taliban vehicle, in the #Khogyani district of Nangarhar, which killed 4 TB members&wounded a commander." Image
