The terrorist Abu Muhsin al-Masri is killed in an operation by the Afghan army. The Egyptian is said to have acted as number two in the Al Qaeda network in South Asia. The FBI put him on their terrorist list. A special unit of the Afghan armed forces has reportedly killed the high-ranking al-Qaeda leader Abu Muhsin al-Masri. The operation for the targeted killing of the Egyptian took place in the central Afghan province of Ghazni, said the National Security Directorate, Afghanistan’s domestic intelligence service, on Twitter late on Saturday evening. She did not give any details about the mission.

From intelligence circles it was said that a confidante of al-Masri was also arrested during the operation. This had “contact with the Taliban”.

Al-Masri, also known as Husam Abd-al-Ra’uf, is said to have been number two in Al-Qaeda in South Asia and was also on the list of the most wanted terrorists by the US Federal Police FBI. In December 2018, the United States issued an arrest warrant for al-Masri. The FBI charged him with aiding a foreign terrorist organization and conspiring to kill US citizens.

The killing of al-Masri took place in the middle of the intra-Afghan peace talks in Qatar, which are intended to end the longstanding conflict in the country. The negotiations between the government in Kabul and the radical Islamic Taliban came about through an agreement between the US and the Taliban regulating the gradual withdrawal of US troops from the country.

However, because of the ongoing violence in Afghanistan, peace talks are proving difficult. On Saturday, a suicide bomber blew himself up near an education center in western Kabul. According to the Interior Ministry, the death toll rose to 24 on Sunday, with at least 57 people injured. The Islamic State (IS) jihadist militia claimed responsibility for the attack. The Afghan authorities also regularly blame the Taliban for attacks on security forces and civilians. In the agreement they signed with the USA in Doha, the radical Islamists committed themselves to reducing violence. The USA invaded Afghanistan after the terrorist attacks of September 11, 2001 and overthrew the then Taliban government.
