It is with great sadness to have learnt that tens of our poor innocent countrymen were killed and wounded today when a gold mine collapsed on workers in Shpo village of Kohistan district’s Zarmanj area, Badakhshan.

According to reports 31 countrymen lost their lives in the tragic incident and 7 others sustained injuries.

The Islamic Emirate deeply saddened by this incident, sympathizes and extends its condolences to the families of the dead and injured and similarly prays to Allah (SwT) to grant the dead Jannat-ul-Fidaws and swift recovery to the injured.

The Islamic Emirate also orders its Mujahideen to use all tools at their disposal to aid in recovering the bodies and handing them to their families as well as showing their sympathies to the bereaved.

Posted on by libyaanalysis
IS in Action

On 27 December, IS’s al-Naba newsletter no. 162 outlined details of the group’s attack on Libya’s Foreign Ministry in Tripoli on 25 December that left three dead and twenty-one injured. The group claimed to have inflicted 31 casualties and vowed to extract revenge on those who fought against IS in Sirte.

On 23 December, thirty-four bodies of Ethiopian Christian nations killed by IS in 2016 were discovered in Sirte.

Other Jihadi Actors

On 24 December, the Libyan National Army’s (LNA) 73 Brigade clashed with Benghazi Defence Brigades (BDB) forces in Wadi Dinar, southeast of Bani Walid. Details of causalities remain unknown at this time. However, the Municipal Council of Bani Walid has denied the presence of BDB forces in the area.
