A senior Taliban official on Wednesday said Daesh will soon be removed from areas where they are active, following the death of a Taliban deputy governor in a bombing claimed by the terrorist group.
Mawlawi Nasir Ahmad Ahmadi, Taliban’s deputy governor for Badakhshan and its acting governor for the province was killed in a car bomb attack in the city of Faizabad, the northern province of Badakhshan, on Tuesday morning. In December, a Taliban police chief was killed in a bombing in Balkh that was also claimed by Daesh.
Taliban’s army chief Qari Fasihuddin Fitrat vowed to remove Daesh in the near future.
