RASC News Agency: Local sources in Nangarhar province have confirmed the tragic shooting of a man by unidentified perpetrators. The incident occurred in the Naghlu area of Batikot district. The victim, Islamuddin, is believed to have met his untimely demise due to personal enmity, although the exact motive behind the murder remains unclear. As of now, the Taliban group in Nangarhar province has not issued any statement regarding this incident.
This murder has garnered significant public attention, particularly amidst the recent surge in criminal activities, including targeted and enigmatic killings, across various provinces of Afghanistan, notably in Nangarhar. One such case involved the assassination of Agha Mohammad Rodwal, the deputy of the Chamber of Commerce and Investment for the Taliban group in Nangarhar province. He was gunned down by unidentified armed individuals in Jalalabad, the provincial capital. Informed sources speculate about the potential involvement of the Taliban group itself in these incidents, as they have allegedly orchestrated numerous killings across different provinces, disguising them as mysterious murders.
Furthermore, it is crucial to highlight the incident where members of the Taliban group in Kabul province shot four youths from Panjshir in Darul aman. This act was purportedly influenced by their animosity towards non-Pashton citizens, particularly those hailing from Panjshir. These incidents underscore the intricate security landscape in Afghanistan, characterized by the presence of various armed groups and criminal elements. This prevailing environment has led to a surge in violence and targeted killings. It is imperative for the authorities to address these challenges effectively to ensure the safety and security of the population.
