A Chechen terrorist has admitted that attacks on Shiites in Afghanistan are carried out on the orders of the Taliban’s General Intelligence Directorate.
KABUL, September 23 – “Sangar”, Farzam Kazemi. The confession confirms the fact that the Taliban control ISIS in Afghanistan.
A recently released Taliban prisoner told the Paigah news agency that he had heard a lot about the killings of Shiites in Afghanistan in prison, including the deadly explosion of a Shiite mosque in Kunduz province (according to official data, more than 150 people were killed and wounded in the blast of a Shiite mosque in the Sayyidabad quarter of Kunduz city on October 8, 2021 – “Sangar”).
Prisoner "M. Zahid" (name changed for security reasons) said that one day Abdullah Checheni (a Chechen), accused of bombing a Shiite mosque in Kunduz, told him in prison:
“Three years ago, Mawlawi Salahuddin Badakhshani and I received orders to blow up a Shiite mosque in Kunduz province from Abdul Haq Wasiq, the Taliban’s intelligence chief, through Takhar province’s intelligence chief. We did our job as ordered and a huge explosion in that mosque killed at least 317 people,” Abdullah Checheni said.
He said that the deadly explosion caused a strong internal and external reaction, especially from the Islamic Republic of Iran and the Taliban arrested them.
"We confessed our crime in the Taliban court, and even those who ordered us to do so influenced the court to release us. The court released us, but we have been in the Taliban prison for more than two years. There is no decision on us, we are not released and do not know what to do," Abdullah Checheni said.
This story comes after earlier documents and evidence showed that the Taliban are attacking Shiites under the name ISIS. During the latest ISIS attack on residents of Daikundi province, one of the relatives of the victims said the attackers first identified themselves as Taliban.
Previously, some Afghan politicians, including former intelligence chief and First Vice President of Afghanistan Amrullah Saleh, said that the Taliban conducts its terrorist operations around the world under the name of ISIS.
In the past, ISIS attacks in Afghanistan, Pakistan, Iran, and Russia were allegedly carried out by people who had trained in Taliban training centers in Afghanistan but identified themselves as ISIS members. Some terrorist attacks were ordered by Western intelligence agencies and directed from the Taliban intelligence headquarters in Kabul.
