Abdul Hamid Khorasani Threatens to Carry Out Suicide Operation?
In videos circulated on social media platforms, Abdul Hamid Khorasani — described as a dissatisfied Tajik-origin Taliban commander — has reportedly declared his readiness to conduct a suicide operation in support of the Taliban system.
This position marks a notable shift, as he had previously criticized the group’s performance in public and described its power structure as ethnically exclusive and dominated by Pashtuns.
In earlier statements, Khorasani emphasized that the Taliban administration had been formed on the basis of ethnic superiority and was incompatible with Islamic principles of equality.
He also claimed that members of his forces had been detained and disarmed by Taliban units on several occasions and that he himself had recently been sidelined from the group’s structure. These criticisms had drawn wide attention among political observers and media outlets.
However, his recent declaration of willingness to undertake a suicide operation indicates a significant change in his stance.
According to informed sources, Khorasani has been portrayed as an opportunistic figure who has introduced not only himself but also his subordinates as prepared for such actions — a development that could have serious consequences for him and his followers.
