It may be recalled that the Taliban government had announced on October 4 that it would target an ISIS group during an operation in Kabul.
On the 8th of this month, the Taliban also arrested a group of 8 ISIS members in Nimroz. Weapons and bombs were also recovered from the group’s possession.
It should be noted that after accepting responsibility for the bombings outside Kabul airport during the withdrawal of US forces, the Taliban has launched a nationwide operation against the terrorist group in which several Taliban fighters have also been martyred.
