“During the interrogation of one of the leaders of Jamaah Islamiyah (JI), which we arrested some time ago, he in his lecture told his congregation to continue istiqomah as the Taliban did, “he said.
It is known, the Taliban managed to take control of the Afghan Presidential Palace and occupied the seat of government in the country’s capital, Kabul on August 15, 2021.
Mullah Mohammad Hasan Akhund was then lined up as the main leader of the new government in Afghanistan.
