Behind the Scenes of Terrorist Acts in Afghanistan

2021/05/29 | Note, political, top news

Strategic Council Online - An expert on the Subcontinent affairs in connection with the recent explosion in front of a girls’ school in Kabul that killed and injured a large number of innocent Afghan people and children, said that no group has yet claimed responsibility for the attacks.

Speaking in an interview with the website of the Strategic Council on Foreign Relations, Pir Mohammad Mollazehi said: On the one hand, the Taliban say it was not their job and they are accusing the ISIS, and on the other hand, government agencies believe that the Taliban carried out that operation.

He added: Especially since those operations were not only against girls’ schools, rather they also carried out several other operations in different places; for example, they blew up a mosque that belonged to the Sunnis.

Noting that many believe that such complex operations are the work of the Haqqani network, Mollazehi added: Because although the Haqqani network has some form of cooperation with the Taliban, their power depends on Pakistan, and especially the ISI.

The expert further remarked: Part of the Taliban, who are dissatisfied with the process leading to Doha, have left the group and joined the ISIS. However, apparently they do not show that they have separated from the Taliban.

Saying that Russia has recently claimed that the ISIS is being organized by the Americans in Afghanistan, he said: In particular, ethnic-regional groups such as the East Turkestan Islamic Movement, an Uyghurs ethnic group fighting against China for the independence of the Xinjiang region, the Islamic Movement of Tajikistan, the Tahrir Party and the Chechens have come under the ISIS control; therefore, the Russians believe that this force is gradually being replaced by the Taliban, who have shown desire for a political solution in the Quetta Shura.

Stressing that no one has accurate information on the issues behind the scenes, he said: But if we look at the Russians’ judgment, the ISIS is organizing among non-Arab ethnic groups to take action against China, central Russia, and Central Asia.

He added: Of course, it is really difficult to judge whether the information that the Russians are giving is due to their rivalry with the United States or whether it is really information that they have obtained through their security apparatus.

The expert elaborated: Behind the scenes, it is almost clear that part of ISIS is linked to the Pakistanis; as recently, one of the ISIS commanders arrested in northern Afghanistan was released due to the efforts of Islamabad.

In response to the question that what policies the Islamic world should now consider in the face of those terrorist acts, Mollazehi said: If the information is correct and the ISI is involved in the developments in Afghanistan and is in some way in line with the United States, in that case, it should be noted that most Takfiri groups, such as the ISIS, are ideologically backed by Saudi Arabia and politically influenced by Pakistan. Therefore, the Islamic world must turn to the Organization of Islamic Cooperation if it wants to do something.

The expert continued: Then in the Organization of Islamic Cooperation, a country should take the initiative and raise the issue of Afghanistan and terrorism there. Also, all Islamic countries should be obliged to cooperate to control that situation.

According to Mollazehi, for the plan to succeed, the financial and logistical resources of those terrorist groups must be cut off and pressure must be put on Saudi Arabia and Pakistan to stop such support.

He added: As long as this situation exists and those terrorist groups are funded, it does not seem that there would be a way to control the situation.

The expert on the Subcontinent affairs stressed that if the Americans, according to the Russians, were involved in those issues, then the agreement between the Taliban and the United States would be somewhat called into question. Because behind the scenes, the Taliban may have agreed that when they come to power, they will not narrow the space for ISIS and al-Qaeda. Of course, provided that those groups do not take action against the United States and its allies, but operate against US rivals.

Solution to Get Out of FATF Blacklist and Get Rid of Its Heavy Costs?

Strategic Council Online – Opinion: The Financial Action Task Force, FATF, announced on Friday, February 23, that the name of the Islamic Republic of Iran remains on the “blacklist” of this international organization. A decision that was not unexpected for the authorities of our country. According to the Governor of the Central Bank of Iran, one day before the release of the FATF statement, due to the current sanctions, Iran is looking for its own FATF, as it uses other tools instead of SWIFT (Society for Worldwide Interbank Financial Telecommunications). On this basis, it seems that while the United Arab Emirates and Lebanon were removed from the “Grey List” of FATF in the previous reviews in June 2024, the Islamic Republic of Iran is not trying to be exempted from the blacklist. But what kind of organization is FATF, and why are some in Iran against joining it? And what is the way out of this situation?
