When the United States withdrew from Afghanistan in August 2021, the Taliban sought to consolidate power. At least five major attacks were carried out by the IS Afghan unit. Many of those attacks were carried out by suicide bombers. So now the main target of this group is said to be the IS system.
IS has continued to challenge the Taliban’s authority, saying that Afghanistan is preparing for another war, in which a suicide bomber kills nearly 200 people, including 13 U.S. soldiers, at the Kabul airport on August 26, the group’s deadliest attack. The Taliban have also said they are beginning to identify IS infiltrators.
