Taliban to recruit suicide bombers for Afghanistan’s armed forces to fight local chapter of IS
A elderly Taliban functionary has verified that self-murder lemon outfits will be incorporated into the country’s service to combat the trouble from the rival Islamic State chapter in Afghanistan.
Bilal Karimi, the Taliban’s deputy prophet, said the self-murder team would work as a single unit.
The Taliban has in the history frequently self-murder bombers, called “ martyrdom campaigners”, to fight Western and kindred forces. Still, it was unclear whether the self-murder team members will be used as self-murder bombers or as regular members of the army.
“ The special forces that include martyrdom campaigners will be used for more sophisticated and special operations,” Mr Karimi said. It was unclear what those operations would be.
Since the Taliban seized control of Afghanistan last August, the Islamic State Khorasan Province (IS-KP), the Afghan chapter of the group, has tried numerous attacks in the country.
The IS-KP wrote last time in an tract in a daily review al Nabha that the Taliban was just a deputy for the United States. The tract also criticised the “ new Taliban” for wearing a “ guise of Islam” to undermine the IS-KP in the region.
According to the Centre for International Security and Cooperation at Stanford University, that although the Islamic State’s chapter in Afghanistan and the Taliban are both strict Sunni Islamist crazies, they’re rivals. The IS-KP has indicted the Taliban of abandoning jihad for the sake of accommodations and peace covenants.
The hostility between the two groups arose both from ideological differences and competition for coffers,” the centre said. “ IS indicted the Taliban of drawing its legality from a narrow ethnical and nationalistic base, rather than a universal Islamic creed.”
