The identity of one of the suicide bombers behind has been revealed the terrorist attacks that spread death in Kabul yesterday. ISIS-K, which claimed responsibility for the massacre in the Afghan capital, has released a photo of one of the perpetrators.
Abdul Rehman Al-Loghri is his name, according to a Sky News article.
The terrorist group Islamic State of Khorasan (ISIS-K) is the arm of the Islamic State in Afghanistan and Pakistan and is in conflict with the Taliban and with al Qaeda over its influence in Afghanistan.
More than 100 people (103) lost their lives in the shock attacks and this dramatic number is expected to grow even more.
At least 90 Afghans and at least 13 members of the US military have been killed, according to The Wall Street Journal.
At least 28 Taliban members are among those killed in an Islamic State attack outside Kabul airport, an Islamist official told Reuters today.
ISIS-K or Islamic State of Khorasan Province
The Islamic State of Khorasan Province (ISIS-K or ISKP) has claimed responsibility for some of the deadliest attacks that have occurred in recent years in Afghanistan, according to the APE-MPE.
It mainly targets Muslims it considers heretics, especially Shiites. In August 2019, he launched an attack on a Shiite wedding in Kabul, killing 91 people. Although ISIS-K and the Taliban are both Sunni, Islamist organizations, relations between them are competitive and mutually hostile.
Yesterday, security analysts pointed out that ISIS-K activity had stopped abruptly for the past 12 days, indicating that it was preparing for a major operation, such as suicide bombings.
As for its relationship with the Taliban, both groups are hardline Sunni Islamist fighters, but differ in the details of religion and strategy, claiming to be the real flag bearers of jihad.
In fact, the Islamic State did not react well to the Taliban victory in Afghanistan. He strongly criticized the US agreement with the Taliban for the withdrawal of foreign troops, accusing the latter of abandoning the jihadist goal.
