Mullah Muhammad Daud Muzamil (Pushto; Pashto: ملا محمد داود مزمل; died 9 March 2023) was a politician in the Islamic Emirate of Afghanistan (IEA) who served as Governor of Balkh province.[3] [4] Prior to that, he served as Governor of Nangarhar province.[5] He was a member of the Taliban.[6] [7]
Muzamil was assassinated on 9 March 2023, during a special meeting with officials from Kabul in which the main issue of discussion was the Qosh Tepa Canal project in the area.[8] [9] According to Mohammad Asif Waziri, a police spokesman, a suicide bomber went inside the meeting and detonated his explosives. Two civilians were also killed during the attack and four others were injured.[10]
The Islamic State – Khorasan Province (ISIS-K) later claimed responsibility for the attack.[11] The Afghan National Security Forces, which are under IEA control, soon began special operations against ISIS-K members in the area. Those involved in the assassination of Muzamil were arrested in nearby Faryab Province.[12] Six ISIS-K members were killed in Balkh around 4 April 2023.[13]
