Commander of Taliban ?special forces? killed in Afghanistan

KABUL: The Commander of the Taliban?s ?special forces? branch, known as the ?Red Unit,? was killed last week in Helmand province by Afghan forces, according to Afghanistan?s main intelligence agency. The National Directorate of Security (NDS) said Mullah Shah Wali, also known as Mullah Naser, was killed in an air operation in Helmand.
The province is a Taliban stronghold in the heartland of Afghanistan?s lucrative drug trade. Wali became the Commander of the Taliban?s ?Red Unit? as well as deputy shadow governor of Helmand province three years ago and was directly involved in Taliban offensives, the statement said.
The ?Red Unit? is thought to be equipped with advanced weapons, including night vision scopes, 82mm rockets, heavy machine guns and US -made assault rifles, according to the Afghan military. Wali was killed alongside a suicide bomber and two other Taliban commanders in Helmand?s Musa Qala district, according to the NDS.
At least six people were killed when a suicide bomber drove a motorcycle into a crowd at a political rally in the eastern Afghan city of Jalalabad on Sunday, police said.The crowd had gathered in a sports stadium for a demonstration in support for President Ashraf Ghani, said Nangarhar province?s police spokesman Hazrat Hussain Mashriqiwal. ?Six people including a woman and a child have been killed and 13 more injured, all of them civilians,? he told AFP by phone. The toll was confirmed by the provincial governor?s spokesman as well as a local health director, who said some of the wounded were in a serious condition. There was no immediate claim of responsibility for the attack, but Nangarhar province is considered a hotbed for the Islamic State (IS) group, which emerged in Afghanistan in late 2015.
The Taliban also have an active presence in parts of the province. Afghan and US officials have stepped up their attacks on IS, saying the group was steadily losing territory with fighters largely confined to two or three districts in Nangarhar compared to around nine in January. But the group has also intensified attacks across the country, particularly in the east and in the capital Kabul, recruiting followers and in some places challenging the Taliban on their own turf. Last month a suicide attack claimed by IS militants hit a political gathering in Kabul, killing 14 people.
