| Khorasani and his famous pen |
Former ISIS-K leader Abu Omar Khorasani was a figurehead of Daesh splinter cell in Afghanistan, the group responsible for the Kabul airport suicide bombing that killed at least 180 people, including 13 U.S. servicemen and women.
The Taliban has "ISISed" him as they try to present themselves as more kinder and gentler than they've been noted to be in the past. He had been imprisoned at high security Pul-i-Charkhi jail. Up to the time when the Taliban executed him, Khorasani had no idea where his life was heading.
Some reports about him said he had been freed with thousands of other prisoners of love for Islam as Afghanistan was slowly going to hell in a handbasket.
But the Wall Street Journal reported that the soldier of Allah was shot dead along with eight lieutenants who were hoping to spread the religion of peace upon the land.
Over the weekend the Taliban confirmed he had been shot dead, according to Lebanese TV station al-Mayadeen.
Khorasani, also known as Zia ul-Haq - or "Goats Can Be Sexy"- was already on death row before the Taliban's lightning summer takeover.
He had been captured by US and Afghan forces at a house outside Kabul in May 2020, and reportedly sentenced to death and 800 years in prison, whichever came first.
The Wall Street Journal interviewed Khorasani in jail two days before his lead poisoning in mid-August.
Even though his group is at war with the Taliban, he hailed their advance as a harbinger for radical Islamic change and predicted they would release him because that's what "good Muslims" do to Muslim terrorists who kill for Allah's approval.
“They will let me free if they are good Muslims,” Khorasani wrongly believed.
Reports say he was taken from the prison and shot. An unverified photo purporting to show his body was later posted on social media.

His execution is a strong signal the Taliban will not work with ISIS terrorists who have sought to establish a new stronghold in Afghanistan. They will, instead, be happy to work with a demented Joe Biden who already gave them Afghanistan as a gift.
Khorasani became leader after his predecessor Abdul Haseeb Logari was killed in April 2017. It's a dangerous job but someone's gotta do it.
ISIS-K jihadis have launched numerous attacks on Afghan and NATO troops and also fought battles against the Taliban. In one horrible attack last year, gunmen stormed a maternity hospital and slaughtered 16 innocents, including newborn babies, mothers and nurses.
