Assassination of Former NDS Deputy Director Raises Security Concerns in Ghor

In a shocking incident, Abdullah Rahimi, the former deputy director of Afghanistan’s National Directorate of Security in Ghor province, was assassinated while attending evening prayers at a local mosque. Local sources confirm that Rahimi was shot dead in the Taywara district, highlighting the ongoing dangers faced by former officials in the region. This tragic event marks the third reported killing of former security forces in Ghor, exacerbating fears of violence against individuals associated with previous government regimes.

The assassination of Rahimi not only raises alarms about personal safety for former Afghan officials but also signifies broader instability in Ghor province and the precarious security situation across Afghanistan since the Taliban takeover. As fears of retribution against former government members grow, so too does concern for the overall safety and security of civilians in the region.
