Taliban intelligence chief killed in Kunar.
Qari Shabir Ahmad, the Taliban’s intelligence director for Shigal district of Kunar province, was killed in a targeted operation, the Afghan National Basij Front’s media office said.
He was a native of Ghaziabad and was known as the number one Taliban figure in the district.
Sources say the operation was carried out after public complaints and careful planning by the fighters and was carried out on Friday evening, September 12, 2025.
Qari Shabir Ahmad had in the past dragged out a large number of former security forces from their homes and killed them.
The Taliban have suffered heavy blows from the opposition in recent weeks.
The installation of security cameras has also failed to prevent attacks, showing that the group does not have sufficient control over the security situation.
