KUNDUZ, Afghanistan, Sept 15 (NNN-ANA) – The Taliban intelligence chief in Afghanistan’s northern Kunduz province, rejected reports of the local presence of militants affiliated with the Daesh group, as baseless and fabricated.
“Lasting peace has returned to Kunduz province, and people are living in peace there and any report about the presence of Daesh militants in Kunduz is utterly baseless,” Hajji Najibullah Haron told reporters here today.
Afghanistan will not allow anyone to sabotage peace and security in Kunduz, or any other parts of the country, the official noted.
After taking over the capital, Kabul, on Aug 15, the Taliban announced the formation of a caretaker government on Sept 7.– NNN-ANA
