Sources reveal that five Afghan nationals have been arrested in Iran in connection with the assassination of General Ekramuddin Saree, the former police chief of Takhar.
Initial investigations by Tehran police indicate the suspects were directly instructed by Taliban intelligence to execute the opposition figure.
General Saree, a prominent anti-Taliban commander, was recently killed in Tehran. The detainees have reportedly confessed to being organized for this specific hit.
Iranian authorities are expected to release the identities of the suspects shortly.
This targeted killing has sparked outrage among refugees and political activists.
The assassination of opposition figures abroad significantly raises alarm regarding the safety of anti-Taliban dissidents residing in neighboring countries.
