The US official’s allegations about the existence of the group in Afghanistan are not true, Zabihullah Mujahid, the spokesman of the Islamic Emirate, wrote on Twitter.

The Daesh insurgents have already been reduced in rank and suppressed in Afghanistan, he said.

The interest of the US officials in this matter and their grandiosity is aiding and abetting the ISIS insurgents, which should be stopped, Mujahid added. (ILKHA)
