Terrorists are plotting atrocities “much worse than 9/11” and the threat is rising “every day”, a rebel leader in Afghanistan has warned.

Ali Maisam Nazary, head of foreign relations for the National Resistance Front of Afghanistan, claimed the Taliban is giving extremists fake passports so that they can pose as refugees in the West.
And he warned terrorist training camps have been re-established, with Jihadists having the “capabilities” to hit targets in Europe and the United States.

Mr Nazary also told the Daily Express, in an exclusive interview, that terrorist groups are thriving in a power vacuum in the war-torn country.

Britain, as a permanent member of the UN Security Council, is said to have “verified” reports of the Taliban supporting and helping terrorists.

And he warned London: “There has been a distribution of passports to terrorists. Why do they need passports? They need passports to disguise themselves as refugees in different countries after they receive their training or instructions and their scope.
“They are in Afghanistan to acquire adequate tools for orchestrating attacks much worse than 9/11.
“We see today as being much worse than in 2001. NATO left Afghanistan as an unsafe place. It was a vacuum which has created a vacuum for regional and international terrorism and this is going to exacerbate as every year passes.”
The Taliban has been linked to Al-Qaeda for decades and numerous other terrorist groups are now operating in the country.
But the militants are also struggling to stop the growth of the Islamic State – Khorasan Province, creating an ever more perilous security crisis in Afghanistan. ISKP has become the most active terror group in Afghanistan and the Pakistani Taliban, which operates out of Afghanistan is carrying out more attacks in Pakistan.
The National Resistance Front of Afghanistan is a rebel group led by the son of resistance hero Ahmad Shah Massoud.
Massoud, who led the fight against the Soviets, famously warned the West about the threat of al-Qaeda and Osama Bin Laden months before 9/11.
Mr Nazary added: “There is more than 20 terrorist organisations – international, regional terrorist organisations operating in Afghanistan since 2021.
“This is because the Taliban feeds that radical Islam and terrorism. It serves their purpose of expanding their form of so-called Government.
“They have provided weapons, training centres, to terrorists. This is not something that we are making up.
“We’ve been saying this for the past two and a half years. Many countries, and international organisations like the United Nations Security Council, have verified this. The UN Security Council report that came out in June 2023 verified the existence of 20 plus terrorist groups.
“The Taliban are supporting them. The Taliban are using them. They are providing them with passports. Identification cards are being given out.
“Our fighters are not only against the Taliban. They are against the terrorist groups.”

Almost 3,000 people were killed in the September 11 atrocities in New York.
The attack was carried out by Al-Qaeda, orchestrated by Osama bin Laden. Security chiefs were particularly concerned, when Kabul fell to the Taliban in 2021, that terrorist groups would find Afghanistan as a safe haven again.
And the fears intensified when the-then Al-Qaeda leader, Ayman al-Zawahiri was killed in a CIA drone strike in Kabul.
Under a peace deal struck in 2020, the Taliban agreed not to allow al-Qaeda or any other extremist group to operate in areas under their control.
However, the Taliban and al-Qaeda are long-time allies and US officials said the
Taliban were aware of Zawahiri's presence in Kabul, and he lived freely and in the open in the Afghan capital.
Western forces withdrew from Afghanistan in 2021 – 20 years after the US invasion in the aftermath of the 9/11 attacks.
But Mr Nazary warned the security crisis in Afghanistan has never been more perilous.
He said: “Back then, you only had two terrorist organisations. The Taliban and Al-Qaeda. Today you have more than 20 terrorist groups. Regional and international terrorist groups.
And they have extended their reach. In 2001, they were not threatening the regional safety of neighbouring countries. Since 2021, attacks have increased, for example in Pakistan.
“This threat is going to increase, as every day passes. If you check UN Security Council reports, each once paints a darker picture of Afghanistan.
