Pakistani Militia Backed Daesh in Tora Bora Offensive: NDS
2017-06-16
The ISI has been using trained jihadis since the 1950s as a tool of policy. Why change now, just because the group is connected to a world-wide conquest effort?
Update at 9:45 a.m. EDT: My apologies. I forgot that the Taliban (Afghan branch) were a tool of the ISI first, making this even more interesting.
[Tolo News] Abdul Saboor Sabet, the head of the National Directorate of Security
...the Afghan national intel agency...
 (NDS) in Nangarhar
The unfortunate Afghan province located adjacent to Mohmand, Kurram, and Khyber Agencies. The capital is Jalalabad. The province was the fief of Younus Khalis after the Soviets departed and one of his sons is the current provincial Taliban commander. Nangarhar is Haqqani country..
 claimed on Thursday that Pak militia fully supported ISIS in their offensive against the Tora Bora region this week in eastern Nangarhar province.

In a trip to Nangarhar’s Chaparhar district on Thursday, Sabet said that Pak militia are still backing ISIS Death Eaters in the region.

"ISIS Death Eaters sustained heavy loses, whenever they suffer a toll, they get reinforcements from the other side of the border who are the Pak militias. The (Afghan) public uprising forces are bravely defending all districts against the enemies," said Sabet.

Meanwhile,
...back at the shouting match, the spittle had reached unprecedented levels...
 General Zaman Waziri, the commander of 201 Selab Army Corps has ordered the government forces to eliminate ISIS Death Eaters in Tora Bora region and in Chaparhar district within 24 hours.

This new development takes place a day after ISIS operatives took control of the strategic region of Tora Bora located in Pacheragam district of Nangarhar following a week-long battle with Taliban
...the Pashtun equivalent of men...
 hard boys.

"At least 700 ISIS Death Eaters had been killed including their leader and they suffered major loses in Kot and Achin districts. They chose another way and attacked Sulaimankhail, then they relocated from Pacheragam to Chapalyar region, however ... now they are moving toward Pacheragam and then towards Tora Bora," said Waziri.

The fresh wave of violence in the region has left dozens of families homeless with many others trying to evacuate the area to save their lives.

ISIS takes control of Tora Bora region after Waziri stated that up to 700 ISIS operatives had been killed in Nangarhar as a result of a military operation by security forces over the past three months.
