Afghan spectacular bears hallmarks of Haqqani Network

31.12.69

What does the ground swell of spectacular attacks in Kabul and elsewhere in Afghanistan on Sunday tell us about the capabilities of the Taliban? Very petty, since it was not the Taliban, narrowly or correctly defined, that is believed to have carried them out.

The carnage does though give us some insights into the increasingly fraught endgame being played out by actors in the Afghan adversity.

The Afghan Interior Ministry has already blamed the Haqqani Network for the co-ordinated assaults in which 38 militants were reported killed. The Inner Minister said on Monday that one of the captured men has already confessed to working for that number.

The pattern of the attacks closely resembles previous "spectaculars" by them, and is confined to the Haqqani heartlands in eastern Afghanistan as well as Kabul. In the centres of Taliban operation; Kandahar, Helmand, and Uruzgan provinces there was no similar action.
