Action grouping "Islamic state" (IG) and the Afghan Taliban have declared a Holy war (Jihad), reports Khaama Press. According to the police chief of the Afghan Helmand province Nabi Jean Malajila (Nabi Jan Mullahkhil), the relevant documents were made available to the security forces of the country.

According to Malajila, new groups opposing the Taliban appear in Afghanistan with the support of some foreign intelligence agencies" who disrupt the peace talks between the government and the Taliban".

According to the newspaper the Oslo Times, the conflict between the two terrorist organizations began after the leader of ISIS, Abu Bakr al-Baghdadi called Mullah Mohammad Omar, the founder of the Taliban - "a fool and illiterate warlord" who does not deserve "neither spiritual nor political trust". In response, the Taliban leader said that none of the members of the movement do not stand under the banner of the "Islamic state", and the flags of the factions will never appear on Afghan soil.
