The statement further added that Ahmad was appointed by the Taliban leader Qari Mahboob two years ago to assassinate the religious holy mans and tribal elders.

Ahmad has confessed that he was directly involved in plotting and coordinating attack on Mawlavi Abduul Rahim Shah Agha, the Ulema council chief of Parwan who was killed while teaching the Madrasa students in Charikar city, NDS added.

At least six Madrasa students were also maimed in the attack, NDS said, adding that Ahmad was busy plotting further attacks against the religious holy mans and tribal elders in Parwan province.
