Zabihullah Mujahid, the spokesman of the Islamic Emirate, responded to the recent statements of the American officials about the presence and capabilities of ISIS in Afghanistan and said that America is promoting ISIS.

Afghan Voice Agency (AVA) - Kabul: Zabihullah Mujahid, the spokesman of the Islamic Emirate, wrote in a tweet that the statements of American officials about the number of ISIS forces in Afghanistan "do not correspond to reality".
 
The spokesman of the Islamic Emirate has said that the activity of the ISIS group is much less compared to the past and has been suppressed by the country's security forces.
 
Zabihullah Mujahid further wrote: "The American officials' interest in this matter and their aggrandizement, the cooperation with the ISIS group and the campaign in their favor, should be stopped."
 
This is despite the fact that a few days ago, General Michael Corilla, the head of the US Central Command (CENTCOM), said that ISIS in Afghanistan could target the interests of the US or other western countries in less than six months.
 
Following these statements, Amir Khan Muttaqi, Acting Minister of Foreign Affairs of the Islamic Emirate, said in an interview with "National Television" that no group opposing the Islamic Emirate, including ISIS, is present in Afghanistan and the perpetrators of some events come from abroad.
 
This is while ISIS has recently claimed responsibility for several deadly attacks in Kabul, Herat and Balkh.
 
In one of these attacks by the ISIS terrorist group on the provincial offices of Tebyan center and AVA news agency, three media workers were martyred and more than 37 others, including 15 journalists, were injured.
