RT: Islamic State militants have been involved in “direct rivalry” with Taliban militants in several provinces across crisis-torn Afghanistan, a former special representative of the UN Secretary-General told RIA Novosti.
“During the last month or two, we have recorded it [the conflict between ISIS and Taliban] in the city of Herat [Herat province, western Afghanistan], Zabul province [south] and Nangarhar province [east]. In Nangakhar, most intensively,” said Nicholas Haysom, who once served as the UN Secretary-General’s deputy special representative in Afghanistan.
