The Taliban find no comfort: They're under attack since they attacked.

Just over a month after the West-backed Government in Kabul, the young rulers of Afghanistan, the Taliban are now facing the inner enemy, who is using many tactics of attacks that the Taliban themselves have practiced.

The extremist Islamic State Group (IS) poses a serious threat to Afghanistan.

The deadly attack at Kabul Airport last month, and a series of bomb attacks in the town of Jalalabad, which were taken over by the IS, spread the threat to the country's stability by militant groups, and the Taliban will have to deal with this situation, Reuters writes.

The Taliban spokesman Zubhilah Mujahed, this week has downplayed the threat, saying that the IS has no active presence in Afghanistan.

But the Taliban commanders on the ground do not easily ignore the threat by militants from this extremist group.

Two members of the Taliban intelligence services who investigated some of the recent attacks on Jalalahabad said the tactics IS used prove that this group remains a danger, even if there are not sufficient numbers of fighters and other sources it would use to take control of the territory.

magnet - climbing bombs were used in the attacks, which are placed mostly under cars. They targeted the Taliban militants. The same kind of attacks were used by the Taliban when they attacked officials and members of security forces, as well as figures of civil society in an effort to destabilise Western-backed Government.

“We are concerned with the use of these sticky bombs, which we used once to attack our enemies in Kabul. We are concerned about our leadership as they may be the target of attacks”, said one of the Taliban intelligence officials. /rel/
