The country’s intelligence agency – National Directorate of Security – Wednesday said nine terrorists led by some with nom de guerre ‘Hares’ hailing from the Islamic State have been captured in a special military operation. An NDS statement said that the captured ISIS fanatics had been engaged in recruitment and terrorist activities in Kabul city.
Under the auspices of ISIS, they were using a shop in Gulbahar shopping mall and a property dealing and a money exchange shop in Shahzada exchange market in Kabul a as a cover to sponsor their terrorist activities.
ISIS fanatic ‘Hares’ is believed to have raised a hefty amount of cash from European countries in the garb of philanthropy and used them to fund ISIS. The captured terrorists remitted the funds to provinces for treatment of wounded ISIS terrorists and cash to their families.
