Taliban Claims ISKP Leaders Moved to Pakistan as Security Concerns Mounts

KABUL, AFGHANISTAN – Zabihullah Mujahid, the chief spokesperson for the Taliban, has claimed that leaders and members of Islamic State Khorasan Province (ISKP) have been relocated to Pakistan’s Balochistan and Khyber Pakhtunkhwa provinces, allegedly with the help of “certain intelligence agencies.” According to Mujahid, these locations serve as training and educational facilities for ISKP.

In a statement released on Monday, Mujahid announced the arrest of individuals linked to a deadly attack on employees of the Taliban-run Attorney General’s office in Kabul’s Dar-ul Aman area earlier this month, which resulted in over 45 casualties. He stated that investigations revealed the attackers had originated from Mastung, Balochistan.
