Taliban’s Operation in Northwestern Kabul Kills Two “Kharijites”
2022-07-08
[KhaamaPress] According to the Taliban
...Arabic for students...
officials, the event in 315 of Khair Khana neighborhood in northwestern Kabul, on Wednesday night, July 6, was an operation by the group’s forces against a group of "criminals".

Although, local sources in Kabul reported that there had been a kaboom and armed skirmishes in Khair Khana area of Kabul, which was sparked by the launch of three rockets by gunnies to a Taliban post.

Zabihullah Mujahid, the spokesperson for the Taliban, however, wrote on his Twitter handle that "the operation against the Kharijites
...a Third Caliph insult that basically means Moslems we don’t like...
hideout ended with the death of two people and the capture of four others."

Earlier, several media outlets said, citing unnamed sources, that the Taliban were confronting ISIS radical Islamists in Khair Khana neighborhood and that they were surrounding the entire 315 area.
To be fair, we call ISIS nasty names, too.
Nonetheless, the spokesperson for the Taliban mentions nothing close to that, saying "weapons and other means of destruction were destroyed and obtained," calling those in battle "Kharijites" and "professional criminals".

Previously, media outlets also reported on the arrest of 60 people by Taliban forces in Khair Khana neighborhood in Kabul.
