The Taliban forces have detained Abdulhamid Khorasani, an Afghan field commander of Tajik origin.
This ethnic Tajik, who became scandalously known for his statements, was disarmed by Taliban forces and then arrested by special order.
According to a report by the “Omodj News” agency on August 29, citing its sources, Khorasani was arrested on the orders of the Taliban government head Mullah Hasan Akhund and the forces of the Military Commission.
It is reported that the Taliban field commander is currently in the prison of the Taliban Military Commission, all his men have been disarmed, and all his weapons have been confiscated.
Sources from the Omodj agency reported that “Abdulhamid Khorasani was sold to the Kandaharis by the Haqqani network.” The Taliban movement has not officially announced his arrest yet.
Previously, Khorasani referred to Iran as a “heretical and tyrannical” state, calling its inhabitants “polytheists” and stating that they are “worse than Jews and Christians.”
This Taliban field commander of Tajik origin has previously generated media attention with his sharp remarks on various topics. Once, in a video address, he sharply criticized the Taliban government, especially its military commanders.
