Afghan documents recovered from militants killed in Mastung attack

Security sources cited by Express News said Afghan nationals were among the militants killed in the Mastung attack in Balochistan, and that documents recovered from their bodies point to involvement by Afghan intelligence.

The militants were identified as members of Fitna al-Hind, according to the report. A dead militant named Zulfiqar, also known as Abu Umar, was carrying a card from Afghanistan’s General Directorate of Intelligence, the report said. A second dead militant, Khalil Ahmad, was carrying an Afghan tazkira, the identity document used in Afghanistan.

Express News reported that the security sources described the recoveries as fresh evidence of Afghan involvement in terrorism inside Pakistan. The sources alleged that India’s Research and Analysis Wing, RAW, and the Taliban regime in Kabul have operated a joint secret network to support attacks in Pakistan. A 2025 intelligence report had earlier exposed this network, the sources said.

According to the report, RAW paid $7.8 million for sabotage and terrorism in Balochistan. The sources claimed that on the instructions of Taliban leader Mullah Hibatullah, Fitna al-Hind militants were provided modern weapons and logistical support. A letter said to be from Mullah Hibatullah, directing that weapons be supplied to Fitna al-Hind, was cited by the sources as clear proof of the alleged nexus between the Taliban regime and the group.

The sources further alleged that RAW, working with the Taliban regime, is using Afghan soil for training, financing and sheltering terrorists targeting Pakistan.

The claims attributed to security sources by Express News could not be independently verified. The report did not include any response from Afghan authorities.
