Support from Senior Taliban Officials

Local sources in Ghor Province have revealed that the Taliban regime is constructing a significant center for al-Qaeda under the guise of a school in the Fourhundred District. They assert that senior Taliban officials, including the Deputy Prime Minister for Economic Affairs and governors of Balkh and Samangan, have frequently visited the construction site, indicating direct government support for this project.

It boasts a mountainous and strategic location, lying at a crossroads between Afghanistan’s northern, central, and western provinces. Local sources have also reported that heavy machinery is being transported to the area to expedite construction.

These reports may significantly escalate international pressure on the Taliban to adhere to their commitments not to allow Afghanistan to be a safe haven for terrorists.
