Daesh claims responsibility for killing Badakhshan deputy governor
Daesh has claimed responsibility for Tuesday’s car bombing in northern Badakhshan province that killed its deputy governor.
Nisar Ahmad Ahmadi, the deputy governor of Badakhshan, was one of two people who were killed outside a court in the provincial capital, Faizabad.
Six others were injured in the blast, local officials said.
The Islamic Emirate of Afghanistan (IEA) has been carrying out raids against members of Daesh, which has claimed several deadly attacks in the country over the past year.
Daesh has also targeted IEA officials, including the governor of northern Balkh province who was killed in his office in March.
