“I was doing jihad, but it didn’t satisfy me. So I thought I had to carry out an operation that could satisfy the hearts of Muslims around the world, and mine too,' Ismail Ashuqullah said theSun theSundaily suicidebomber Taliban WorldNews
In this photo taken on May 25, 2023, Taliban-trained suicide bomber Ismail Ashuqullah speaks with Taliban's General Directorate of Intelligence after an interview with AFP in Otarhi village in Tangi valley of Saydabad district - AFPPIX: Taliban-trained suicide bomber Ismail Ashuqullah regrets missing the chance to blow himself up at the height of the Afghan war -- like many other young men from the lush green Tangi Valley.
“When I was informed by my superiors that I had to join the battalion, I was delighted that God had chosen me. I felt a lot of joy,“ says 25-year-old newlywed Ashuqullah, his eyes lined with kohl. In Islam, the Arabic term “jihad” is used to describe a wide range of religious struggles, ranging from the private spiritual realm to waging actual combat.
“All the forces of the Islamic Emirate, especially these Mujahideen, fought with their national and Islamic spirit.”After ousting the first Taliban regime in 2001, the United States and its NATO allies fought a two-decade war against the insurgents to prop up the Western-backed Afghan government. They stormed homes where women lived in seclusion -- a huge dishonour according to local custom -- breeding anger among Afghans.
The Taliban claim foreign fighters and Afghan troops were always the target, but civilians made up the largest proportion of victims -- including women and children.
