Extreme organization or borrowing explosion attacks to destroy Russia -A -Afa co -operating

Some analysts said that the IS organization's launching attack was "staring at" the cooperation between Russia and the Taliban regime. Since Taliban regained power, Russia has been one of the few countries that have not withdrawn from the embassy from Afghanistan. Recently, Moscow negotiated with an agreement with the temporary government of Afghanistan on an agreement to supply gasoline and other commodities. Since the end of August, it is reported that Moscow plans to use oil and natural gas to exchange "honey, herbs and other natural products" with oil and gas. Regarding the explosion, Nikita Mentkovic, an expert at the contemporary Afghanistan research center, pointed out that radicals want to use the attack to destroy the stability of the situation in Afghanistan and intimidate the people. "Terrorists may want to interfere with the established cooperation between Moscow and Kabul. (Terrorism) to do this is to interrupt the supply of food and fuel to force the economic situation of Afghanistan to worsen."

Afghanistan experts and researchers at the National School of International Relations of Moscow Alexander Knia Yev analyzed that some groups of Taliban and Afghan society are waiting for more effective cooperation with Russia, but some people are not interested in it, and of which Including terrorist organizations like IS. But Knia Yev emphasized that after suffering the terrorist attack, Russia is likely to strengthen cooperation with the temporary government in Afghanistan.

According to a reference news network report, Afghanistan's head of the Political Research Center of Afghanistan, Andre, pointed out that there may be business factors on terrorist attacks against Russian diplomats. According to Xie Liake, in recent years, an Afghan "black intermediary" organization has been selling visas to Afghan people who want to move to Russia, and made a lot of money. It is reported that each visa price is 800 to 1500 US dollars. But about two or three weeks ago, the Russian Embassy in Arabia decided to rectify the order and expel the "black intermediary" that was actually robbed.
