Taliban representative Zabiullah Mujahid announced the creation of a special suicide battalion, which will become part of the future army of Afghanistan.
His statement is reported by The Khaama Press.
According to a Taliban spokesman, the battalion will be used for special operations.
Zabiullah Mujahid also said that the process of creating a new Afghan army is still ongoing. He noted that former Afghan officers can become members of the future armed forces. He also suggested that women can be recruited to serve in the army, if necessary.
