Following is the January to February 2023 installment of “Afghanistan Terrorism Report.” The authors provide a monthly analysis concerning the developing terrorist threat in Afghanistan as well as a comprehensive overview of that month’s al-Qaeda and ISIS-K propaganda.

Following a series of major ISIS-K attacks in Kabul targeting the foreign ministry, the military airport, the Pakistani embassy, and a hotel housing Chinese guests at the end of 2022 and January 2023, propaganda outlets linked to ISIS-K have not focused on claiming responsibility for attacks in Afghanistan from the middle of January until the end of February. Although several pro-ISIS-K posts mention attacks in Afghanistan during that time, ISIS-K did not claim responsibility. This drop in claimed and actual terror attacks was very likely due to very adverse weather conditions, with Afghanistan experiencing the coldest winter in 15 years, hampering the mobility of terrorist operatives. In addition, Taliban security forces seem to have achieved some successes against ISIS-K in recent weeks, including a reportedly successful raid on an ISIS-K hideout in Kabul on February 14. A pro-ISIS-K post on February 22 also announced the death of Ejaz Ahmad Ahangar in Afghanistan, described by this post and in Indian media reports as a key ISIS functionary focused on Kashmir.

Although ISIS-K did not take responsibility for this action, staff of the embassy of Saudi Arabia was airlifted out of the country at the beginning of February, reportedly responding to the threat of a potential vehicle bombing within the diplomatic quarter. This corresponds to an uptick of criticism directed at Saudi Arabia through pro-ISIS-K social media channels. For example, the pro-ISIS Voice of Khorasan Web Magazine on February 2, dedicated an article strongly criticizing Qatar and Saudi Arabia for violating religious standards. Interestingly, both Qatar and the United Arab Emirates also reportedly downgraded their diplomatic presence in Afghanistan in February. With the Pakistani ambassador not yet having returned to Kabul following the attack on his embassy in December, this sparked a discussion in media reports about whether the Taliban are beginning to lose some of their more accommodating diplomatic relationships and whether Iran was gaining influence in the country.

This discussion is also reflected in pro-ISIS-K propaganda outlets. While anti-Shiite propaganda and criticisms of the alleged Taliban religious tolerance towards Shiites and other faiths in Afghanistan have been a central point of ISIS-K rhetoric, January and February saw a marked increase in posts criticizing the actions of Iran in Afghanistan and its cooperation with the Taliban. As a sign of the developing Iran-Taliban relationship, Iran decided to hand over the Afghan embassy in Tehran to representatives of the Taliban on February 26. However, on a strategic level, the Islamic Republic of Iran has not yet decided on a unified policy approach toward the Taliban. Some factions in Iran continue to argue that the Taliban are a threat, including ideologically, while others favor a more accommodating approach to the new regime in Kabul.

During 2022, pro-ISIS-K propaganda regularly highlighted factional differences within the Taliban movement. During January and February, ISIS-K-linked messaging attempted to describe what it called an internal coup attempt, pitting Taliban interior minister Sirajuddin Haqqani and Taliban defense minister Mohammad Yaqoob on the one side against Taliban leader Haibatullah Akhundzada and the Kandahar faction of the Taliban on the other side. Pro-ISIS-K propaganda claims that the issue of contention was the approach of the Taliban toward education for women. Allegedly, Haqqani and Yaqoob opposed the ban on secondary education for women to ensure the continuous flow of international aid to the country.

Similar disagreements have also been discussed in current media reports. The potential split mirrors discussions during the first Taliban regime in the 1990s, where reports about the loss of power of more “moderate” voices within the Taliban were a common narrative in expert discussions. During the first Taliban regime until 2001, these supposedly “moderate” Taliban leaders were not able to alter the extremist policies of the movement. Currently, during the second Taliban regime in Afghanistan, there are no indications that the situation will be different. The Taliban have not changed their internal functionality, which affords Haibatullah Akhundzada, the leader of the Taliban, ultimate decision-making power. Therefore, even the influence of Sirajuddin Haqqani, the leader of the Haqqani Network, and Mohammad Yaqoob, the son of former Taliban leader Mullah Omar, will always be inferior to the power of the Taliban leader. Given that both Haqqani as well as Yaqoob must be aware of this, it is likely that their critical public statements against the restrictions on women’s education are aimed more at maintaining their relationship with international donors than at Haibatullah Akhundzada’s decision on that matter.

One of the most concerning aspects of pro-ISIS-K messaging in January and February is the shifting rhetoric concerning humanitarian organizations, including the United Nations and the International Committee of the Red Cross (ICRC). While in previous months, pro-ISIS-K propaganda messaging criticized the Taliban for mishandling international funds, during January and February, the rhetoric sharpened. Several pro-ISIS-K posts accused international aid workers of being spies. This mirrors the situation in the Pakistani tribal areas and North Waziristan Province, where humanitarian and civil society organizations have been threatened and attacked by militant groups for a number of years. Therefore, this shift in pro-ISIS-K propaganda in recent weeks increases the risk of direct attacks against humanitarian operations and their staff in Afghanistan.

Pro-ISIS-K propaganda against Pakistan also increased in January and February. In several posts, the Pakistani government is labeled an “apostate” entity, and the Taliban are criticized for their cooperation with Pakistan. For example, the attack against a mosque in Peshawar by the Tehrik-i-Taliban Pakistan (TTP) on January 30, which killed at least 100 individuals, features in pro-ISIS-K propaganda messages. These messages primarily criticize the Taliban for condemning the attack. In several posts on January 30 and February 1, ISIS-K-linked propaganda channels seem to justify the attacks. Again, on February 17, referring to an attack by terrorists on a police station in Karachi, which killed two individuals, a pro-ISIS-K post decries the Taliban condemning any terrorist attack in Pakistan “whatever the affiliation” of the perpetrator. This noticeable increase in propaganda against Pakistan could indicate that ISIS-K intends to intensify its operations there in the coming months.

In light of reports about the return of mercenaries from the Rafidi Fatemiyoun Brigade to #Afghanistan to fight the national Taliban alongside the Shiite and government militias, the apostates of the Taliban still see them as brothers and make them false and false Muslims, and help them in their oppression and slander.

Killing Wahhabis and Salafis has a higher priority than killing Americans, Jews and others.

Salafi Wahhabis are worse than all the infidels in the world.

And he testifies against every falsehood of the words of the Messenger of God (peace be upon him) without shame or deterrence from religion.

The Messenger of God (peace and blessings of God be upon him) said: “Whoever deliberately lies about me, let him take his seat in the Fire.” Narrated by Al-Bukhari and Muslim. Imam Al-Nawawi said in Sharh Muslim: Deliberately fabricating hadiths is forbidden according to the consensus of Muslims who are relied upon in consensus.

American report: To eliminate terrorism, the doctrine of monotheism, which was renewed by Imam Muhammad ibn Abd al-Wahhab, must be eliminated.

The war on terrorism has failed because the doctrine of monotheism among the Mujahideen remains and must be fought.

#Comment:

Isn't this what your Lord does, O captives of the apostate al-Qaeda, and the Deobandi evil advocates said it openly: The two imams, Sheikhs of Islam Ibn Taymiyyah and Wayne Abd al-Wahhab, may God have mercy on them both, are in Hell, and their followers are Kharijites who must be killed…

The apostate intended to turn the scales of falsehood and adorn it as truth, but the common Muslims in the multitude of comments asked for an explanation for the arrest of Muslim women for no offense other than that they are among the relatives of the martyrs and mujahideen in the Levant, Iraq and other countries.

The cursed cuckold proves that the cuckolds of the Taliban are Khawarij of the era, so tell me, by your Lord, who imprisons the chaste muwahhidat and leaves the idolatrous Rafidah women? Rather, he protects them and sets up his guns and his chest without them.

Tell me, for God's sake, who left the women of the apostate parliamentarians who were disputing with God in his judgment? He made them bodyguards.

Tell me, for God's sake, who left the women of the soldiers of the apostate Ghani government and the women of the apostate resistance in their husbands' homes, reinforced?

Tell me, for God's sake, who receives the women of the worshipers of the cross, the atheist security envoys, in the most luxurious hotels and offices?

Tell me, O captive, the apostate al-Qaeda, may God punish you dead and alive.

And mention the curse of God in the epics of the Yarmouk camp who exchanged the corpses of the Nusayriyyah for the women of the Awakening and your women, you who are without manhood.

Unlike the Wahhabis and the Kharijite Salafis, these miracles will not happen to them because they are innovators.

The donkey, Rahimullah Haqqani, is one of the most influential theorists of the apostate Taliban militia, and among the words of the panting dog: ‘The Islamic State and Wahhabism (Salafism) are the same.

Azizi explained that the consortium includes 14 Afghan businessmen, noting that his ministry has signed a memorandum of understanding with foreign companies that will send envoys to Kabul to discuss projects worth up to one billion dollars. The Afghan economy has suffered severe setbacks since the Taliban took over in 2021, prompting the international community to cut most development financing and impose sanctions on the banking sector. A series of attacks by the Islamic State group on foreign targets has also alarmed some investors. Azizi pointed out that the Taliban administration is focusing on launching many long-term business plans, including a consortium and the establishment of economic zones, especially as it works to ensure security. Hideouts (militants) are destroyed. He continued: ‘The Islamic Emirate will ensure security and support the private sector in this field in addition to mining and energy projects,’ he said, the consortium is studying the possibility of building a second tunnel through the Salang corridor that connects northern Afghanistan with the rest of the country, and a water diversion project from Panjshir in the north to the capital, as well as restoring the main highway linking Kabul. In the western province of Herat, the minister stated that the Taliban administration plans to focus on building special economic zones, which it hopes will attract investment.

God kills human donkeys…

The motive behind the high-ranking Pakistani delegation's visit to Kabul was not related to financial aid, nor about the Pakistani Taliban militia. Rather, informed local sources confirmed, through leaks from the militia itself, that this emergency visit was linked to the Mujahideen of the Islamic State.

And it has become a reality that the threat of the Caliphate soldiers to launch a regional attack on both sides of the Durand Line in the mountainous regions of #Pakistan and #Afghanistan has increased alarmingly, so that the land communication between Afghanistan and Pakistan has become completely isolated, fearing the ability of the Monotheists to occupy all the mountainous regions of Afghanistan And Pakistan, and this danger was not only felt by America, as its marches do not leave the sky of the country, but the tyrants of Pakistan and the apostate Taliban militia also felt it, and now we see America, the apostate Taliban and Pakistan planning together to prevent it from happening, so the apostate militia launched the door-to-door inspection process to search the Monotheists cells in the cities, because they know that the attack is a reality and these cells will be knives in their loins.”

He also called on Akhundzada to correct his hostile approach towards the non-Pashtun militia members, who had sacrificed for the militia for many years…

We said it is a Pashtun militia, so the captives shouted in disapproval.

And we said they are divided sects, so the tyrants accused us of ignorance.

And we asked why their tyrant was hidden, so the answer came from among the apostates: Their shares are severe.

They killed Mullah Omar, and they inherited the act of killing some of them for the sake of power and prestige.”

‘Bacha bazi’ or ‘the love of boys’ where the boys who are more beautiful or similar to girls are chosen and they are taught to dance and they are dressed in skirts to dance and entertain the audience.

The immorality of sodomy was still widespread among the leaders of the apostate Taliban militia before its soldiers.

And what Sheikh Abi Anas narrated about that with a martyr, where were the sons of the militia leaders actually arrested, and the militia with all its weight procrastinated in establishing God’s punishment on them!

It was nothing until he split the heads of the ungodly with his pen, then sided with the Levant and pledged allegiance to the sheikh to Hamam, may God accept them all.

And they swear by the Lord of the Kaaba that the leaders of the apostate #Al-Qaeda militia at that time knew the story and knew that immorality was widespread among them.

By God, if the plane had landed, the Taliban would have been blinded, and it would not have seen a monotheist if he sat on the pupils of one of them.

May the curse of God be upon the Kharijites of the Taliban.

Is it not with God's grace for the captives of Al-Qaeda..

May God bless you in this world and the hereafter..
