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.

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.

#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.

۲۲ اگست ۲۰۲۱ بس ها از هوتل سرینا به سوی میدان، راه افتادند. اهالی رسانه، جامعه مدنی، کارمندان دولتی در نیمه شب تاریک و پر از خوف و هراس کابل را ترک می کردند. سفیر قطر در آغاز کاروان بود و نخستین دسته طالبان را در نزدیکی وزارت دفاع دیدیم.
ترک کردن زادگاه با اشک و اندوه همراه بود. ۲۲ اگست ۲۰۲۱ اسپیشل فورس امریکا و طالبان در چند متری همدیگر قرار داشتند. همه به میدان رسیدند و صبحگاهان گروه گروه به طیاره داخل شدند. آواره‌گی آغاز می یافت. طالبان نتوانستند نیروی متخصص کاری را نگه دارند. فضای وحشت آلود و عدم پذیرش همدیگر گران تمام شد.
