  The Islamic State of Iraq and Syria (ISIS) terrorist group has started recruitments in the outskirts of Kabul province, Mohammad Mohaqiq, the Second Deputy to Chief Executive Officer has said.

In an interview with Voice of America Ashna TV, Mohaqiq said based on the information they have received the ISIS recruits are receiving salaries upto $1,000 along with a motorcycle.

He said the group has so far recruited around 700 to 800 fighters in the country and warned that the group poses a serious threat to Afghanistan.

Mohaqiq further added that the group will fight the Taliban militants in the first step as witnessed in eastern parts of the country where they have captured some districts.

Mohaqiq also added that the ISIS affiliates have also started persecution of Hazaras and Shias where they abducted 31 Hazara passengers in Zabul and some others were kidnapped by the group between Jaghoori and Qarabagh.

He said ISIS militants also abducted two women which was rare during the past three decades of war in the country.

This comes as Mohaqiq called on his supporters during the second day of Eid al-Fitr to remain alert and vigilant for self defense amid deteriorating security situation.

During a gathering in western part of capital Kabul, Mohaqiq said the people should be alert to face any situation and should not be concerned and disappointed.

His remarks are followed amid growing concerns that the ISIS group is looking to gain foothold in Afghanistan as the militants in the battlefield have started rebranding by pledging allegiance to the terror group.

Pentagon also released a report earlier last month stating that the terror group is likely to continue looking for ways to expand their activities in Afghanistan.

According to the report, the US forces have noted a few militants re-branding themselves, likely in an attempt to draw media attention, greater resources and more recruits.

A bomb detonated near a U.S military base in eastern Afghanistan, near the Pakistani border, killing around 20 people people Sunday, news agencies reported. Afghan police told reporters a suicide car bomb went off in Khost province, near the Camp Chapman base, which houses Afghan and U.S military forces. Faizullah Ghairat, police chief of Khost city, the bomb went off near the base’s entrance. The blast occurred around 7 p.m., local time, as residents were breaking their fast for Ramadan, Al Jazeera reported.

There were conflicting accounts of the number of casualties: Ghairat estimated the death toll at 25, while a Khost doctor told AFP there were 18 deaths counted. Meanwhile, the Associated Press cited the province’s health director, Dr. Hedayatullah Hamedi, who reported 17 deaths, among them several women and children. Six additional civilians are wounded, two of them in critical condition, Hamedi added. Officials have not yet revealed the identities of those killed, but Al Jazeera reported all of those killed are believed to be Afghan.

NATO offocials earlier told the AP it knew of an explosion but did not comment further on the nature of the incident.

No groups have yet claimed any responsibility for the attack, which comes months after the Obama administration declared an end to the U.S combat mission in Afghanistan. The White House is planning a complete withdrawal of U.S troops from the country by the end of 2016, leaving security in the hands of Afghan forces.

Camp Chapman came under attack in 2009 in a suicide operation that resulted in the deaths of seven employees of the U.S Central Intelligence Agency, including five officers and two contractors. The Pakistani Taliban and al-Qaeda claimed responsibility for that attack.

If enduring pain, braving shame, despising one's self for the sake of affection 

and accepting misery without question

  KABUL: A military investigation into a violent confrontation between Afghan residents of Kabul and US soldiers last week has concluded that the troops acted with “admirable restraint” even after a US soldier was stabbed, a military official said.

The investigation examined the tense moments after a Taliban bomb ripped through a heavily armoured convoy of US troops travelling down a busy street in Afghan capital city. As the US soldiers, who were unharmed, got out of their trucks to form a cordon, they were confronted with a scene of devastation. A mix of passing motorists and shopkeepers had taken the brunt of the blast. At least one Afghan was killed and nearly two dozen were wounded.

What happened next was confusing and violent. Witnesses to the scene, interviewed by reporters, said Afghans began to throw stones at the soldiers and shout “Death to Americans.”

A US soldier opened fire, with some witnesses reporting that the shots were clearly aimed away from the crowd and intended as a warning. But others accused the soldiers of firing into the crowd. At one point, an Afghan man stabbed a soldier. The scene calmed only when Afghan security forces took control, witnesses said.

The investigation by an 11-person board of Nato officials concluded that it was extremely unlikely that US troops had shot any Afghans during the episode, said Brig. Gen. Wilson A. Shoffner of the US Army. Shoffner, the top military spokesman for the US-led mission in Afghanistan, said the review had concluded that one US soldier had “fired two warning shots from his rifle into the side of an unoccupied and obviously damaged civilian vehicle parked on the side of the road in order to warn off the crowd.”

By that time, Shoffner said, the crowd of “agitated civilians” had been throwing rocks, debris and even chunks of metal at the troops. The warning shots prompted the crowd to back up. Shoffner said the investigation found that the shots were fired at a downward angle into the empty vehicle “and there was no reasonable way that the rounds could have caused any injury to anyone.”

The investigation also found that the troops had acted with “admirable restraint” after an Afghan man had stabbed one of them. The soldier’s wound, to his right arm, was not serious, and witnesses said the assailant was arrested by Afghan security forces. One witness, Khesraw, 33, said that after the stabbing, a nearby soldier had simply pushed away the man with the knife. “I was really amazed to see how patiently the US soldier acted,” Khesraw said.

Shoffner said US soldiers fired only two warning shots during the entire episode. But he noted that Afghan security officials on the scene also fired. It was not clear whether those were warning shots or struck members of the crowd. “I believe those were warning shots,” Shoffner said, but added that “from looking at the video, you can tell they were firing shots. But you can’t tell really anything beyond that.”

Shoffner declined to identify the source of the video, but the military uses cameras affixed to dirigibles about a quarter-mile in the sky.

U.S soldiers attend to a wounded soldier at the site of a blast in Kabul on Tuesday. A suicide bomber attacked a convoy of foreign troops serving with NATO on the main road running between Kabul's airport and the U.S Embassy, police and security officials said.

 

 

 

The Taliban launched a suicide car bomb attack on a NATO military convoy in Afghanistan’s capital on Tuesday, killing two people and wounding 26 others, including two U.S soldiers, officials said. The blast sent a huge plume of black smoke over the city and scattered glass and metal across the main highway to Kabul’s airport.

Kabul deputy police chief Sayed Gulagha said a suicide bomber struck the convoy with a vehicle packed with explosives. Interior Ministry spokesman Sediq Sediqqi said two Afghan civilians were killed and at least 24 wounded, some critically.
