IEA rejects report US bombs left in Afghanistan being smuggled into Mexico
2023-11-29
[ArianaNews] The Islamic Emirate has rejected report that the US bombs left in Afghanistan are ending up in the hands of Mexican cartels.

Fox News 29 San Antonio reported on Wednesday that although many of the explosives seen in Mexico are homemade, the number of those coming from Afghanistan has gone up.

Ari Jimenez, retired Homeland Security Investigations Special Agent In Charge, said that the way the improvised explosives are built is more like those seen in the Middle East.

Enrique Alfaro, Governor of Jalisco, Mexico said: "In an act that we have not seen before here, with improvised explosives, seven explosives were detonated killing six and injuring 12."

IEA, however, rejected the report.

"Afghanistan neither produces explosives nor it has explosive storages. Moreover, Afghanistan does not have access to Mexico and it is not easy. So how can this allegation be true? Unfortunately, some circles are hostile to Afghanistan and make such accusations which we reject," IEA’s front man Zabihullah Mujahid said.

The Special Inspector General for Afghanistan Reconstruction, which is a U.S. government entity, estimated that about $7 billion of new equipment was left in Afghanistan after the United States’ departure.
