The Taliban will officially retain self-murder bombers to come part of the army as the militant group tries to contain its biggest security trouble from rival Islamic State since forming government in Afghanistan four months agone.
Before sweeping into power last time, the Taliban used self-murder bombers as a crucial armament to attack and master US and Afghan colors in the 20- time war.
Now the group wants to reform and organise the scattered outfits of self-murder bombers across the country to operate under a single unit and cover Afghanistan, said the Taliban’s deputy spokesperson Bilal Karimi.
Their main target now would be the original offshoot of the Islamic State, which has carried out at least five major attacks as the Taliban looked to consolidate power after the United States withdrew from Afghanistan in August.
Several of those attacks were carried out by self-murder bombers. “ The special forces that include martyrdom campaigners will be used

Several of those attacks were carried out by self-murder bombers. “ The special forces that include martyrdom campaigners will be used for more sophisticated and special operations,” Karimi said.
Meanwhile, Taliban governance has said that it’ll not allow fencing by Pakistan along the Durand Line, amid raising pressures between the neighbouring countries on the contentious issue of border fencing, a media report said.
We (Taliban) won’t allow the fencing anytime, in any form. Whatever they (Pakistan) did ahead, they did, but we won’t allow it presently. There will be no fencing presently,” Mawllawi Sanaullah Sangin, commander of the Taliban, told Afghanistan’s Tolo News on Wednesday.
