#AFG A resident filmed this video : “ Towards PD5, towards eve Loya Jirga tent.”
Gunfire can be heard in an area where a Taliban gathering of religious leaders was being convened in PD5, Kabul city. Despite tough security measures, the attack once more shows how security and intelligence failures continues.
Yesterday Taliban organizers of the Taliban Religious scholar meeting had banned “ Cell phones, all types of weapons, knives and scissors ✂️.” Image
“At least 3 explosions heard and gunfire continues over the last 30 minutes.” A local residents who lives in apartment blocks opposite the Loya Jirga tent tells me.
“Taliban security forces have fired at a suspicious locations. There is no issue around the gathering.” Khalid Zadran a spokesman for Kabul police chief says in a statement. @khalidzadran01 Image
“Several attackers got inside.” Two residents in PD5 live in the area and witnessed the attack tells me.

“Taliban Special forces from the interior ministry shot dead 3 attackers who got into a building and wanted to disrupt the gathering.” A Taliban security official tells me. ImageImageImage
“At least 3 Taliban soldiers killed in the fighting against ISKP militants. At least 1 Talib soldier wounded. Weapons -both small and heavy including hand grenades were hidden on the 4th floor by ISKP in advance.Attackers moved into house 12 days ago.” Multiple sources tells me.
Aftermath of the complex attack. Despite Taliban security officials playing it down as “ no cause for concern.” attackers had placed ample amount of weapons inside a residential apartment well in advance. ImageImageImage
Daish flag was found inside the apartment.
Second day of the the gathering - “ Few mortars landed in an empty space, at a parking. Mortars landed far from the gathering and no one was harmed.” A Taliban security official tells me.
On the second day of Taliban’s ulema gathering, Kabul once again came under attack with several rockets landing near the venue where Haibatullah was delivering a speech. There are unconfirmed reports of casualties.
A force of 12K was mobilised to provide security. However, these incidents show that Taliban’s opposition are strengthening with passage of every day develping lethal capabilities to launch attacks undermining Taliban’s much boasted Image as provider of security.

#AFG A child in Aryub Zazi district in Paktia province was tortured and beaten over a PUBGI game by members of Taliban’s vice and virtue. During the interrogations, the Taliban asked the child what his father did? Child replied, he was a former member of ANDSF, and got martyred.
At this moment , the Taliban beat the kid, ordering him to say, “ No, your father died as a dog.” Afterwards, the kid's uncles were summoned, one uncle urged Taliban to let go, and they will make sure he doesn’t play PUBG. Then, Taliban opened fire, killing his uncle, wounding
two uncles, and 4 other people, some in critical condition. Despite denials by Taliban officials, privately Taliban’s notorious intelligence GDI has banned local media from reporting the story, and promised the elders the perpetrators will be brought to justice.

The mastermind of Abbey Gate attack was Salahudin aka Rajab. Salahudin was trained by AQ In Waziristan and joined the HQN in 2009. He worked for several years under Tajmir Jawad, the GDI Deputy with links to AQ. Salahudin later became in-charge for Kabul Katiba of the ISKP
with direct link to the ISIS Core. There is no report that he was either targeted or killed by the Taliban. Instead, many reports suggest his close ties with the HQN and GDI. Salahudin also led and organized the attack on Muzamel, the Taliban’s governor for Balkh.
Tajmir Jawad flew from Kabul to Mazar-e-Sharif to provide Salahudin a safe exit to Faryab and then to Herat. To conclude, there is no single report about Salahudin’s death.

Qari Fateh Bajauri is the in-charge of military and operational affairs for ISKP. Formerly, he led the Fatah (Victory) Katiba for ISKP during Sayeed Orakzai. Later, Aslam Farooqi appointed him as in-charge of the ISKP intelligence. He recently established multiple training
centers for the ISKP fighters in tribal areas. His movement to Kabul was not reported, but if he went to Kabul then it was a trap by SAM ( shahab al-Mahajer) because QFB ( Qari Fateh Bajauri) was supporting Aslam Farooqi against SAM.
The recent activities of the Taliban against ISKP have been operationally supported by the QF ( Quds force ) The QF signed an MOU with the Taliban in Kandahar almost a month ago.

#AFG “The Taliban have started house to house search in Kandahar city and Spinboldak targeting people who worked with the ANDSF and former government. During search, they are asking women to leave these houses in the absence of female police and check all sorts of personal
belongings. If they find IDs or find military shoes, they beat and imprison them. People are scared and cannot object. Yesterday, they killed two persons while searching the house of a former ANDSF commander.” Residents in Kandahar city and Spin Boldak tells me.
