[AfghanDigest] LAST 24 HOURS
CONFLICT TRACKER Khost: A blast took place in the Ismail Khel district of the province that resulted in the deaths of 2 non-combatant children. Some reports claim a drone was loitering overhead before the blast. Sources say the blast was likely targeting Mufti Farooq, a Waziristan cleric who is alleged to have ties to the TTP. Nangarhar: Faqir Mohammad, Deputy Director of Telecommunications in Sherzad district was reportedly killed by an IED on Tuesday. NEXT 24 HOURS KHAN MAKES FRESH CALL FOR PROTESTS – The former PM took to Twitter and called on followers in his party to launch new protests on Tuesday. Khan missed the early portions of his court hearing on Tuesday and has been ordered back into court today for further hearings in the Al-Qadir Trust corruption case. He promised to host a rally on Thursday where he says he will lay out a new plan of action. However, he has also been ordered to appear in front of the NAB in Rawalpindi on Thursday. Many are expecting him to be arrested again and a new round of protests that could be met with significantly stiffer resistance by Police and Military forces will ensue. We have no definitive information about an impending arrest but feel duty-bound to continue warning at-risk Afghans in Pakistan to remain situationally aware and ready to take shelter should crowds begin to gather.
