The Taliban has rejected a claim by Iran’s foreign minister that the leaders of the ISIL (ISIS) armed group had been sent to Afghanistan.
“If Iran has any intelligence that Daesh members have been transferred to Afghanistan, we hope [they] share it so the Afghan security forces can take the necessary steps,” Abdul Qahar Balkhi, a spokesman for the foreign ministry, said on Twitter on Saturday using a common Arabic name for the ISIL group.
