Afghan defense ministry says killing of Daesh leader in Afghanistan will shock the group and will have a negative impact over the group's destructive activities in east of the country.

Mohammad Radmanish, deputy spokesperson for the ministry said," killing of one or several influential persons are important, not only Abdul Hasib, in the fight against Daesh we will act according to our policy in order to ensure security for the people of Afghanistan."

U.S. military also on Sunday confirmed killing of Sheikh Abdul Hasib, the leader of Daesh in Afghanistan,  in a raid conducted jointly by Afghan special forces and U.S. troops in eastern province of Nangarhar on April 27.

Meanwhile, military commentators say that killing of insurgents leaders has not been proved as effective.

"As you were witnessed on the killing of the Taliban leaders, many leaders of the group was killed but there was no major changes in the group," Afghan military analyst, Mirza Muhammad Yarmand said.

Ordinary Afghans carefully praised killing of Daesh leader in eastern Nangarhar province, where the group is having a strong presence and is considered as the group's main hub.

A resident of Jalalabad city said," we haven't seen any changes by killing these people, their war and oppression increase day by day."

Another resident stressed," the war project in Afghanistan will not end as long as its roots is not targeted."

Abdul Hasib also known as Hasib Logari took control of the Daesh group in Afghanistan about one year ago when his predecessor Hafiz Saeed Khan was killed by a U.S. drone attack.

Afghan government says he was responsible for ordering the attack on the 400-bed military hospital in Kabul, the attack on the "Enlightenment Movement", the attack on the American University of Afghanistan and many more which claimed the lives of hundreds.

Pakistan: IEA must prevent US weapons from reaching terrorists

Published

on

Pakistan's Ministry of Foreign Affairs has once again expressed concern over the potential for terrorist groups to access weapons left behind by the United States in Afghanistan.

Speaking in a news conference, Pakistan's spokesperson for the foreign ministry Shafqat Ali Khan urged the leaders of the Islamic Emirate not to allow the weapons left by the US to fall into the hands of terrorists, as this would create serious security concerns for both Pakistan and the region.

"Regarding the issue of weapons left behind in Afghanistan, it should be noted that Afghan officials are responsible for ensuring that, under no circumstances, such weapons fall into the hands of terrorist groups. This is a significant concern for the countries of the region, and we continue to call for increased attention to this matter,” said Shafqat Ali Khan.

Currently, the relations between Afghanistan and Pakistan do not appear to be very positive. However, some experts believe that a unified stance must be created between the countries in the region to combat terrorism.

Earlier, the Islamic Emirate has described such concerns as baseless and repeatedly stated that all US weapons and military equipment left behind are secured by the government, with no group or individual having access to them.

Relations between Kabul and Islamabad have always been tense since IEA’s takeover, particularly regarding the issue of Tehrik-i-Taliban Pakistan (TTP). Pakistan claims that this group plans and carries out attacks from Afghan soil against Pakistan.

However, the Islamic Emirate has repeatedly rejected Pakistan's accusations, calling them baseless.

The International Criminal Court prosecutor’s request for arrest warrants for Mawlawi Hebatullah Akhundzada, the supreme leader of the Islamic Emirate of Afghanistan (IEA), and chief justice Abdul Hakim Haqqani, has no “fair legal basis” and it is “politically motivated”, the Ministry of Foreign Affairs said on Friday.

On Thursday, ICC prosecutor Karim Khan said he had applied for arrest warrants for the two IEA figures in Afghanistan, accusing them of the persecution of women and girls.

The Foreign Ministry, however, said in a statement on Friday that the charges brought by the prosecutor were baseless.

"Nationwide security in Afghanistan is ensured, people breathe a sigh of relief, private prisons, kidnappings, warlords’ islands of power, many other forms of discontent and inhuman acts have been eliminated," the statement said.

"It is regrettable that this institution (ICC) has turned a blind eye to the war crimes and crimes against humanity committed by foreign forces and their domestic allies during the 20 years of occupation of Afghanistan," the statement said.

"This misconduct further undermines the weak credibility of the institution and makes its position at the international level completely meaningless," the statement said. “This institution should not try to impose a particular interpretation of human rights on the entire world and ignore the religious and national values ​​of people in other parts of the world.”
