Targeted killings of former Afghan National Army, Afghan intelligence agency NDS and anti-Taliban militia groups have remained in the country since the Taliban came to power in Afghanistan, but have intensified this month. ۔
Although this type of news is rarely reported in the Afghan media at the moment, Afghan journalists on social media platforms are occasionally reporting such incidents. According to journalists affiliated with international media groups, there have been dozens of targeted Glink incidents in Afghanistan in December alone.
On December 3, the body of Naveed Khan, a former militia commander, was found in the Akbar Khan area of Kabul.
Ghaffar Khan, a former police special forces officer, was shot dead on the Kabul-Paktia highway in Kabul on December 10, but the Afghan Interior Ministry said he was the victim of a personal feud.
A deadly trend continues across Afghanistan- this time in Kandahar: “former member of NDS, Zahir had returned to ordinary life, he was tricked from a shop and was later on gunned down.”

Leaders’ instructions for Taliban fighters involved in targeted killings and crimes
In a message to Taliban fighters on November 23, Afghan Interior Minister Sirajuddin Haqqani said that at the beginning of the jihad, there were only a handful of people, but with God’s help, our goal was achieved. We need sincere people, not more.
Sirajuddin Haqqani said that the Afghan Taliban had succeeded in removing the occupying forces from the country by ending 20 years of struggle and with the help of Allah.
The Afghan interior minister said that the Taliban had joined the ranks of miscreants and miscreants who were defaming the name of the Islamic Emirate and therefore a commission had been formed to remove such rioters from the movement.
Siraj-ud-Din Haqqani said that the said commission was an important need of the hour and therefore all those associated with the movement should extend full cooperation to them so that the movement could be cleansed of conspiratorial and riotous elements.
Siraj-ud-Din Haqqani said that those who cover up such people on the basis of personal ties are harming the movement. This act will not only harm the people but also Allah will be angry.
It may be recalled that the Taliban’s interim government has formed a commission headed by Mufti Latifullah Hakimi to expel non-Taliban members from the movement, which has launched a nationwide investigation into the matter.
In a meeting with security officials in Kabul three days ago, Mufti Latifullah Hakimi, head of the Taliban’s clearance commission, said the ranks needed to be cleared to maintain order.
Mufti Latifullah Hakimi told military and security officials in various provinces that the most important and first step in maintaining order was to clean up the ranks and that the Islamic Emirate of Afghanistan would not allow any corrupt person to enter the system. The provincial authorities should appoint people in their ranks who are loyal to religion, system, country and people.
Last week, Afghan Defense Ministry officials claimed that the commission had so far identified 2,000 people and expelled them from the Taliban.
A statement from the Afghan Ministry of Defense said that the commission was formed in collaboration with local bodies, defense and security agencies of the Islamic Emirate to identify biased, thieves and incompetents at the center.
Earlier on September 24, the Afghan defense minister of the interim government had also warned the Taliban fighters to turn away from the leadership’s policies. Mullah Yaqub had admitted that there had been some incidents in recent days in which two or three people were killed in retaliation for showing irresponsibility.
The Afghan interim defense minister said that the Islamic Emirate has declared a general amnesty and once the amnesty is announced then no one has the right to take revenge and if anyone has an individual dispute with someone. He should hand it over to the law, then if he is right, the government officials will give him his right.
He said that it was not the policy of the Emirate to kill anyone in personal capacity and it was also illegal from Shariah point of view. Mullah Yaqub said that such incidents are harming our big goals.
The Defense Minister said that the Islamic Emirate has announced a general amnesty for the soldiers of the previous government, commanders involved in war crimes and those who martyred and harassed our people, so no Mujahid has the right to such people Take revenge against
The Taliban leaders’ instructions and confessions are in place, but since the Taliban came to power, several members of the Taliban movement have expressed concern over the announcement of a general amnesty and avenged the killings of their close relatives. The Taliban have not yet clarified whether the Taliban are involved in the recent events as a movement or a few individuals involved in the movement.
