Daud Muzamil

Mullah Muhammad Daud Muzamil (; 1974-died 9 March 2023) was a Taliban member in the Islamic Emirate of Afghanistan (IEA) who served as Governor of Balkh province. Prior to that, he served as Governor of Nangarhar province.

Death 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. 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.

The Islamic State – Khorasan Province (ISIS-K) later claimed responsibility for the attack. 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. Six ISIS-K members were killed in Balkh around 4 April 2023.
