The Taliban have created an exclusive battalion of suicide bombers called ‘Lashkar-e-Mansoori’ and deployed it at the northeastern province of Badakhshan which borders Tajikistan and China.
Talking to media persons, the Deputy Governor of Badakhshan Mullah Nisar Ahmad Ahmadi said that the battalion will be deployed at the borders of Afghanistan.
He further said that the primary target of the new Battalion will be targeting the security forces of the previous Afghan government.

"The battalion is named Lashkar-e-Mansoori "Mansoor army" and will be deployed to the borders of the country. It is the same as the one that would conduct suicide attacks targeting the security forces of the previous Afghan government," Ahmadi said.
Ahmadi also acknowledged the importance of the battalion saying that defeating America would not have been possible if it were not for the Lashkar-e-Mansoori. He called the members of the battalion brave and said that they have no fear of death.
"The defeat of the US would not be possible if not for this battalion. These brave men would wear explosive waistcoats and would detonate the US bases in Afghanistan. These are people with literally no fear who devote themselves for the consent of Allah," said Ahmadi, according to Khaama Press.

The publication further said that a similar and highly trained battalion called Badri 313 is already deployed at the Kabul International Airport. It is known to be one of the most equipped and has some of the best-trained fighters.
Continuing the theme of terror, the interim government by the Talibani forces in Afghanistan announced a 33-minister cabinet last month. Out of these, at least 17 of the 33 — half of the Taliban’s cabinet — are on the UN terror list while at least 5 have United Nations sanctions. Sirajuddin Haqqani, the leader of the Haqqani network, is an FBI target and has a $10 million bounty over him.
