Afghan Voice Agency (AVA): Al-Marsad media announced in a report on Friday noon: that Tajikistan has become a new center for the production of ISIS; It is a great threat to the security and stability of the region and the world, and many of its citizens have been used in attacks on Afghanistan, Iran and other countries. On the other hand, a large number of Tajik citizens have been arrested in America, Europe, Turkey and Russia in connection with the ISIS project.
According to this report, Al-Marsad Department has now received information that the Tajik intelligence was from a Tajik man who lived in Germany, and he was the link between the Khorasan branch of ISIS and the Tajik intelligence. He demanded that those Tajik citizens who are with ISIS in Khorasan and are used in attacks should be kept anonymous and hidden in order to reduce the pressure on the Tajik government.
According to some intelligence sources, the images published of the attackers in the Kerman attack in Iran are pretending to be citizens of Tajikistan, and experts also believe that hiding their faces and eyes is also based on the same request that Tajik intelligence The Khorasan branch of ISIS wanted.
According to this report, the high-ranking officials of the Islamic Emirate had also informed several times about the use of Tajik citizens in attacks on Afghanistan by Daesh Khorasan. Recently, Mullah Muhammad Yaqub Mujahid, Acting Minister of Defense of the Islamic Emirate, also said in a press conference that Tajik and Pakistani nationals were involved in ISIS attacks on mosques, monasteries, religious scholars and public places in Afghanistan, and a large number of Tajik and Pakistani nationals were involved in the operation. Security forces have been killed and some have been arrested alive.
Following this report, the Ministry of Information of the Islamic Republic of Iran published a statement last night (Friday, January 5) with new details of the nature of the factors involved in the terrorist attacks in Kerman.
According to this statement, in a short time after the fatal incident, Iran's intelligence soldiers discovered the first traces of ISIS terrorist agents and in order to identify other agents who cooperate and support terrorists as well as other possible criminals, in cooperation with all security and law enforcement units. and the intelligence of the country implemented extensive national intelligence, technical and security measures.
The ministry added that one of the two suicide bombers was of Tajik nationality, and the identity of the second terrorist has not yet been definitively established.
According to this statement, with the identification of the agents of transporting the terrorists into Iran, the first operation to arrest the said agents was carried out in the evening of the day of the incident. In the morning of the next day (Thursday, January 4), the residence used by the two dead terrorists was identified in the outskirts of Kerman city, as well as 2 supporting and supplying elements of the said residence were identified and arrested. In the continuation of the operation, 9 people from the support network of the terrorist team and its associates were identified and arrested in 6 provinces of Iran.
Iran's Ministry of Intelligence has emphasized that this operation will definitely continue until the arrest of the last person who was involved in supporting the criminals in any way and to any extent.
According to this ministry, the failure to issue a statement until the moment of its publication was due to the discovery of ready-made explosive equipment at the residence of the terrorists, which could indicate the possibility of the presence and referral of other agents to transfer explosive materials and use them in other places. Some of the discovered equipment are: 2 explosive vests, 2 remote control devices, 2 explosive detonators, several thousand bullets used in explosive vests, wiring prepared for the vests and quantities of explosive raw materials.
This statement has emphasized that since the identification operations and secondary supply measures are being carried out in the area inside and outside of Iran, with all available capacities, therefore, other information obtained will be published at the appropriate time.
Previously, following ISIS's acceptance of responsibility for the suicide attacks in Kerman, some analytical sources in Iran raised doubts about the nature of ISIS's recent declaration; Among other things, there is no history of ISIS using the word "Iran" in its statements, but this takfiri group has always called Iran "Blad Fars" or "Khorasan Province".
On the other hand, there is no precedent for the picture of the terrorist agents of the operation, who happened to be killed during the operation, to be published in checkered form.
The third point, according to these sources, is that the declaration of acceptance of responsibility for the operations of the Daesh terrorist group is never published with a 30-hour delay, rather, Daesh even prepares images of the pledge of allegiance and the declaration of responsibility before each operation and publishes them immediately after the execution of the operation.
According to the latest statistics of the casualties of terrorist attacks on Wednesday, January 3, 88 people including 13 Afghan citizens were martyred and 280 others were injured. ISIS has claimed responsibility for these attacks. The funeral and burial ceremony of these martyrs was held on Friday, January 5, in Kerman Martyrs.
