The intelligence chief of Bati Kot district in the eastern Afghan province of Nangarhar was killed in an IS-led attack on Tuesday, according to a source.

Terrorists ambushed Abid Bashir, the head of the Islamic Emirate Intelligence Agency, on Monday night while he was patrolling the district area.

So far, no group has claimed responsibility for the attack, but according to the source, Bashir was apparently killed by IS terrorists as a result of a major offensive he had launched earlier against ISIS terrorists in the Bati Kot district.

Abid Bashir was a key Taliban commander in Nangarhar province who had previously escaped after a terrorist ambush.

The Taliban's war against the terrorist group in Afghanistan has been ongoing since 2015, when IS terrorists began forming terrorist cells and recruiting fighters in the country, in an attempt to undermine the Taliban's influence. In the provinces of Nangarhar, Logar, and Farah, fierce clashes erupted between the Taliban and IS terrorists.

Since the Taliban reclaimed power in Afghanistan in mid-August, the militants have allegedly carried out several terrorist attacks across the country, including the August bombing at Hamid Karzai International Airport in Kabul, which killed more than 180 people, and an October attack on a Shiite mosque in Kunduz, which killed more than 150 people.

The Taliban have repeatedly stated their intention to eliminate the IS faction in Afghanistan and to halt the attacks, pledging to make every effort to apprehend Shahab Al-Muhajir, the IS local affiliate leader.
