Abu Khalid al-Hindi carried out the attack on Sikh temple in Kabul: ISIS-K
2020-03-27
[KhaamaPress] The offshoot 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....
 terror group, ISIS Khurasan, claimed that the attack on Sikh temple in Kabul was carried out by Abu Khalild al-Hindi.

The Amaq News Agency, affiliated with the terror group released the photo of the jacket wallah who stormed the Sikh temple in Kabul city on Wednesday.

The terror group also issued a brief statement claiming that the Sikh minority group was the target of the attack.

The Ministry of Interior confirmed that the attack on Sikh temple in Kabul city left at least 25 people dead and 8 others maimed.

This is not the first time the terror group is targeting the minority groups in Afghanistan.

A suicide kaboom, claimed by ISIS Khurasan, killed at least 19 people including many members of the Sikh community in Jalalabad city of Nangarhar
The unfortunate Afghan province located adjacent to Mohmand, Kurram, and Khyber Agencies. The capital is Jalalabad. The province was the fief of Younus Khalis after the Soviets departed and one of his sons is the current provincial Taliban commander. Nangarhar is Haqqani country..
 in mid-2018.

The attack also killed also killed Awtar Singh Khalsa, the only Sikh candidate who had planned to contest the parliamentary elections.

#3  There have been several al-Hindis, in Kashmir, the Southern states... of course they're all dead now. 'Hind' denotes the Indian subcontinent.

The IS-K is led by erstwhile members of the Tehreek-i-Taliban, Pakistani sasquatches that refused to adhere to the ISI playbook and instead of serving the corrupt theocracy wanted something out of a pâ—™rnâ—™graphic Sunni fable for themselves.

Unknown to most people is the fact that IS-K will also carry out suicide attacks for money, unsanctioned by their central leadership. Their mercenary attributes have occasionally served the interests of other Asian nations.

The Pakistain Jama'at had been baying for Sikh blood since the international fiasco and drubbing over abduction of Sikh girls and the threats to Nankana Sahib, a Sikh temple. Rather than attack the Sikhs within their territory at this time when the FATF threat is looming, while trying to play dealmaker in Qatar and Germany - the Pakistain ISI has placated their Jama'at mullahs by paying IS-K through their TTP contacts, for an attack outside their own border.
