Qadir said Ghani's national security advisor, Mohammad Hanif Atmar, is responsible for the increased Islamic State profile in Afghanistan.

"This is all Atmar's game," he said of the foreign presence in Afghanistan.

Though Qadir's accusations against Atmar are likely to ruffle feathers in Kabul, he is not the first high-profile Afghan official to accuse the National Security Council, headed by Atmar, of aiding and abetting the enemy.

Why would Atmer (if this report is true) encourage ISIS? Is he their agent? It would also damage Afghanistan. Does anyone have info on his personal background?

A quick Google search shows this guy and Amrullah Saleh were sacked by Hamid Karzai after an attack on an Afghan peace jirga in 2010.
What's interesting is that Atmar was pretty close with the United States.

But their resignations have so far given little reason to Afghans and the international community to expect improved security. Pentagon press secretary Geoff Morrell said that Washington favored Atmar as the interior minister. "Both the ministers of interior and intelligence are people we admire and whose services we appreciate," he said.
