 ...mindless ferocity in a turban...
officials conducted large-scale operations against ISIS-K fighters in four districts of Kandahar province on Monday night, November 14.
It is the first time that the Taliban launched operations against 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....
of Iraq and Syria-Khorasan branch in Kandahar province.
Local residents have said that the operations started Monday midnight and continued until early morning the following day and claimed that three civilians have also been killed during the operations.
Taliban’s provincial officials in Kandahar said that they killed three ISIS-K affiliates and arrested ten more but did not say anything about civilians.
In the meantime, it is rumored that an ISIS-K affiliate has blown his explosives in a room that killed the affiliate.
The provincial officials and interior ministry have not said anything about the casualties of the Taliban fighters.
The ISIS-K has recently escalated their attacks in Afghanistan and has lately grabbed credit for a deadly attack on Saturday in Kabul that left three killed and six maimed.
Tolo News’ version of events: Security forces of the Islamic Emirate launched a large-scale operation in Kandahar city early on Monday against Daesh hideouts.
Islamic Emirate local officials said four Daesh members were killed and eight others were arrested during the operation.
The clashes between the security forces and Daesh members lasted for several hours.
“The security and intelligence forces of the Islamic Emirate launched an operation on Daesh hideouts early on Monday in which eight Daesh members were arrested, and four were killed,” said Shamsuddin Samim, deputy head of Kandahar's information and culture department.
According to Samim, four hideouts of Daesh were destroyed during the operation.
Meanwhile, local residents said two civilians were also killed during the operation.
Sanaullah, a relative of the victims, said his father and younger brother were killed. “One of them was my father and the other one my younger brother. Daesh members were living in a house and there was an explosion, and they were killed in that explosion,” he said.
Saeed Khosti, spokesman of the Ministry of Interior said in a tweet that three Daesh members and two civilians were killed.
“A hideout of Daesh was destroyed and three Daesh fighters were killed. In this operation, two civilians were martyred, and the Islamic Emirate forces were not harmed,” he tweeted.
