KABUL (Pajhwok): The Taliban have attacked a sanctuary of the Islamic State terrorist group in central Parwan province.

Several IS fighters were killed and detained in Friday’s raid in Charikar, the provincial capital, said Taliban spokesman Bilal Karimi.

Speaking to the Associated Press, Karimi confirmed the raid. However, he did not go into details of the attack.

Nearly 170 Afghans and 13 US security personnel were killed in an IS-claimed suicide bombing outside the Kabul airport in late August.

Karimi said the raid came after the arrest of two IS fighters linked to a roadside bombing that targeted a Taliban vehicle.

He explained the information provided by the two detainees helped the Taliban identify the hideout.
