Taliban Adding Suicide Bombers To Army Ranks

The Taliban will officially recruit the suicide bomber to become part of the troops when militant groups try to contain the biggest security threats from the Islamic State since forming a government in Afghanistan four months ago.

Before sweeping Power last year, the Taliban used a suicide bombing as the main weapon to attack and defeat US and Afghan troops in the 20-year war. Now the group wants to reform and regulate the suicide bombing spread throughout the country to operate under one unit and protect Afghanistan, said the Taliban spokesman Bilal Kari.

Their main target will now be a local branch of the Islamic State, which has done at least five major attacks when the Taliban sees to consolidate power after the US withdraws from Afghanistan in August. Some of the attacks were carried out by suicide bombings.

“Special forces that include martyrdom seekers will be used for more sophisticated and special operations,” Karimi said by telephone, without providing details.

The militant group built “strong and organized soldiers to increase the defense” national and on the border with suicide bomber into an integral part of the strategy, Karimi added. About 150,000 fighters will be invited to join the military, Al Jazeera reported in November, quoting the Chief of Staff of Taliban Qari Fasihuddin.

The recruitment drive came after the Taliban cleaned the military ranks to stop those who searched home-to-home to complete the score with opponents, according to spokesman Zabihullah Mujahed. The group also said he had begun to identify and capture the possibility of Islamic state infiltrators in their own ranks.

State fighters constantly challenge the authority of Taliban, encourage fears that Afghanistan can go down to other wars. The most deadly group took place on August 26 when a suicide bomber killed nearly 200 people including 13 US marines at Kabul Airport as a desperate Afghan people were waiting for US evacuation flights to escape from the country.
