KABUL’s first deputy speaker Zahir Qadir on Sunday said uprising forces had blocked the Islamic State or Daesh militant group’s advance in eastern Nangarhar province.
The lawmaker was addressing tribal elders from the Khogyani district in Jalalabad, the provincial capital of Nangarhar. Qadir said he and his friends had decisively fought against Daesh militants and had prevented them from finding a foothold.
He said uprising forces led by him were fighting alongside the Afghan security forces against the IS and were stationed three kilometers . . .
