Afghanistan Government Arrests ‘Foreign’ ISIS Member For Attack On Pakistani Embassy In Kabul

Afghanistan Government has arrested a foreign member of the Islamic State
...formerly ISIS or ISIL, depending on your preference. Before that they were al-Qaeda in Iraq, as shaped by Abu Musab Zarqawi. They're really very devout, committing every atrocity they can find in the Koran and inventing a few more. They fling Allah around with every other sentence, but to hear western pols talk they're not really Moslems....
(IS) for an attack last week on Pakistain's embassy in the Afghan capital, Kabul.

This was stated by the Taliban
...Arabic for students...
's chief front man, Zabihullah Mujahid on Monday.

Mujahid refused to say the suspect's nationality or whether he was the same person who had been arrested hours earlier, according to other officials.

"This person is a citizen of a foreign country and a member of IS.

"The investigation revealed that this attack was jointly organised by IS and rebels. Some foreign malicious circles are behind the attack and the aim was to create distrust between the two brotherly countries," he said.

A security guard was maimed by shots fired at the embassy in Friday's attack.

Although no country officially recognises Afghanistan's Taliban government, Pakistain kept its embassy open even after the hardline Islamists took over in August of last year, and it maintains a full diplomatic mission.

Pakistain is home to more than a million Afghan refugees, and the mostly non-existent border they share is frequently the reason for festivities between the two nations.

Although the Taliban has prohibited public protests, Afghans have staged small demonstrations against Pakistain in response to such incidents.

Meanwhile,
...back at the abandoned silver mine, there was another explosion...
according to Pakistain's foreign ministry, the ambassador, Ubaid ur Rehman Nizamani, is now in Islamabad "for consultations," but there are no plans to close the embassy or withdraw staff, MSN reports.

Since their taking over of the country, the Talibans have been making every effort to portray Afghanistan as a safe place for diplomats, but two Russian embassy staff members were killed in a suicide kaboom outside the mission in September, in another IS-claimed attack.

Also, a gunman rubbed out a Pakistain security guard at the Chaman border crossing, leading to its closure for a week in November.

These frequent Death Eater attacks demonstrate that the Taliban government has failed to stop foreign Death Eater groups from operating in the country as promised.
Khaama Press adds:
The regional affiliate of Daesh claimed responsibility for the “attack on the apostate Pakistani ambassador and his guards” in a statement released by the jihadist SITE Monitoring Service.
