Kabul: A day after the deadly twin blasts outside Kabul airport claimed 80 lives and prompted warnings from the US military veterans of “nightmare” scenarios, reports claiming a possibility that Pakistan’s ISIS face Emir Mawalawi Abdullah Farooqi may have been behind the bomb attacks surfaced.
“Strong possibility after release he with his old partner have done this blast and Pakistani agencies also wanted this. Pakistan wants to create uncertainty in the region for their terror plots and threat to develop countries for money,” the report quoted the source as saying.
Farooqui had been associated with LeT and Tehreek-e-Taliban. He later replaced Mawlawi Zia-ul-Haq aka Abu Omar Khorasani as ISKP chief in April 2019. After the Taliban took over Kabul, Farooqui, along with other terrorists, was released from Afghan jails.
