ISIS Claims Responsibility for Attack on Daikundi Residents
[8am] 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....
(ISIS) has grabbed credit for the attack on Daykundi residents.

On Thursday night, September 12, 2024, ISIS issued a statement on its Amaq news site, claiming that its forces killed 15 Shia individuals and maimed six others.
ISIS has a thing about the Shiites in its neighbourhood, especially Afghanistan’s Hazeras.
ISIS reported that the attack occurred in the Qariodal mountain pass, on the border between Daykundi and Ghor provinces.

Earlier, sources informed the Hasht-e Subh Daily that gunnies attacked a vehicle carrying Daykundi residents, resulting in 14 deaths and six injuries.

The Taliban
...the once and current oppressors of Afghanistan...
in Ghor have not yet commented on the incident.

Hazara
...a grouping of Dari-speaking people of Sino-Tibetan descent inhabiting Afghanistan and Pakistain. They are predominantly Shia Moslems and not particularly warlike, which makes them favored targets...
and Shia communities frequently face attacks in various provinces, with ISIS claiming responsibility for most attacks against Hazaras.

Meanwhile,
...back at the shouting match, the spittle had reached unprecedented levels...
the Taliban assert that they provide nationwide security and deny the presence of ISIS in Afghanistan.
According to local officials, the victims of this incident were residents of the Sang-Takht and Bandar districts of Daikundi who had gone to welcome pilgrims returning from Karbala.
