Ahmad Zia Siraj, head of the National Directorate of Security (NDS), told Afghanistan’s Meshrano Jirga (Upper House of Parliament) on Tuesday that Taliban are responsible for “99 percent of attacks in Afghanistan”.
This comes after senators summoned security officials to appear before them and answer questions on the security situation in the country.
According to Siraj, 18,200 attacks happened in Afghanistan in the past year. He said the Taliban were responsible for 99 percent of these attacks.
Siraj said the Taliban, especially its affiliated group Haqqani Network, are also behind the spate of targeted killings in the country.
