** 09-May-2021 World View: ISIS - Afghan alliance
I thought that was a very interesting claim by the Taliban. It's
nonsensical to be sure, but almost every statement by the Taliban is
nonsensical. The Afghan government is blaming the Taliban, not ISIS,
for the attack, so perhaps that has made the paranoid Taliban leaders
suspicious that ISIS and the government are forming a marriage of
convenience against the Taliban.
