[ToloNews] A "key member" of the Taliban

Qari Shafi, who also known as Hafiz Omeri, a Taliban military commander and member of the Taliban’s leadership commission, was arrested while entering Shindand district from Iran, it said.
Qari Shafi was "dropped by the Iran’s Revolutionary Guard Corps on the border," according to the statement, which added that he was involved in "assassinations" and security incidents on highways."
He "intended to launch attacks on the Pashtan Dam and also increase attacks on the highways," the statement said.
