Salafi community in AFG:
1. The #Taliban #dismissed many university&public schools/Madrassas professors/teachers in several provinces, including Paktia, Paktika, Khost...on charges of #Salafist precedents or assuming that they are, even though they did not show any affiliation... Image
2. TB preventing #women from attending mosques to pray or teach the Quran.
Note:
In an audio clip attributed to the TB's ministry of Hajj& religious affairs, Imams in all AFG are instructed to close girls' Madrassas located in mosques' compounds& prevent women's entry to mosques. Image
3. The Taliban's district governor with armed men, on Wednesday, closed a private Salafi Madrassa, "Al-Dawah ila al-Quran wal-Sunnah", for boys and appointed pro-TB teachers for girls' wing of the same Madrassa, in Shuhada District of #Badakhshan, a province with Salafi majority. ImageImage

#Hostage_situation in #Bannu:
Armed militants of unknown group stormed an installation of the Counter-Terrorism Department (#CTD) of #Pakistan in Bannu, released dozens of prisoners and took 9 PAK security forces, including Major Khorshid Akram (as militants claim) hostages...
...In an unverified video, they claimed that they are 35 people and asking PAK Army to provide them safe #air_transport to #AFG (in ten minutes), in exchange for the release of all hostages. They warned to kill all 9 hostages& will fight till death, if their #demand was rejected. Image
Note:
While it is early to comment, but the wording of the hostage takers in Bannu (using respectful words to PAK army), their demand (to be airlifted to AFG)& the overall scene, seems to be 'staged'...a #victimization drama of PAK& to prove that AFG is safe haven for terrorists.

Chinese foreign ministry spokesman Wang Wenbin confirmed that 5 #Chinese nationals were wounded in #Kabul Longan #Hotal attck.
As said by @paulybrown, the attackers (with weapons& explosives) stayed in the hotel before the attack (a big #security_failure). reuters.com/world/asia-pac…
Only foreigners were allowed to stay in Kabul Longan Hotel...
As reported by Reuters, Chinese Foreign Minister recommended #Chinese citizens and organisations to #leave #Afghanistan as soon as possible.
This is exactly what the ISKP attack was expected to achieve.
The #Taliban are failing on all fronts due to their totalitarian& odd regime.

A local journalist:
"Fighting between AFG & PAK border forces started in 'Shiro Oba' area, in Spin Boldak-Chaman crossing point (on #Durand_Line), in Kandahar Province.
The #clash started when AFG forces were building new check posts in the area & Pakistani side prevented them."
The #Taliban confirmed clashes in Spin Boldak of Kandahar, but didn't provide details about the reason& casualties.
There are conflicting news about the status of the crossing point. Some sources said it was closed, others reporting about reopening of the gate.

Unverified videos in SM, showing that the situation is chaotic in #Spin_Boldak-#Chaman crossing point& civilians suffered #casualties.
I am not posting the videos, proving casualties, due to Twitter rules.
Sources confirmed to @TOLOnews that 4 people were killed& 20 more wounded. twitter.com/i/web/status/1…
