Keralites are attempting to tarnish India's image?
After being released from Bagram prison by the Taliban, at least 14 kerala citizens joined the Islamic State of Khorasan Province (ISKP) militant organisation. One of the 14 Keralites is said to have contacted his home in kerala, while the other 13 remain at large in Kabul with the ISKP terrorist organisation.
Following the capture of Mosul by the so-called Islamic State in syria and lebanon in 2014, thousands of Keralites from the Malappuram, Kasaragod, and Kannur districts left india to join the jihadist group in the Middle East. As a result, numerous families fled to Afghanistan's Nangarhar province to reside under the ISKP.
While india is concerned that the Taliban and their handlers will use these radicalised Keralites to smear India's reputation in afghanistan by carrying out acts of terrorism, there are credible reports that two Pakistanis were apprehended while attempting to carry out a blast outside the turkmenistan embassy. The Taliban have remained tight-lipped about the incident for obvious reasons, but intelligence reports indicate that these Pakistani individuals were found with an improvised explosive device shortly after the Kabul airport blast on august 26.
Given Pakistan's and the United Kingdom's roles in the US's decision to cut a deal with the Taliban, the incident appears to have been lost in the chaos following the airport attack. There are no independent confirmation methods available on HT online.
