Thousands of jihadi fighters who were released from jails in Afghanistan as the Taliban swept to power are regrouping to carry out attacks on their enemies.
The freed extremists have affiliations to different terror organizations, with Al-Qaeda having longstanding links to the new rulers’ high command, but all have the same ‘fanatical’ Islamist ideology. .
Isis is regrouping and restructuring and they are establishing their strongholds again in the eastern and northern provinces.
As these groups grow in strength Afghanistan will again be a hotbed for international terrorism and insurgency.

And these were the “worst of the worst” let out first thing. Has anyone else heard that the Taliban leader’s brother supposedly defected to ISISk early on in the surrender? Of course, nobody believes it was a real defection, just a strengthening of Islamists.
