The Tora Bora Military Front (Pashto: Tora Bora Nizami Mahaz) is an insurgent group in Nangarhar Province, Afghanistan. It is led by Anwarul Haq Mujahid. The faction broke away from Hezb-e Islami Khalis (HiK) following the death of HiK's leader Mohammad Yunus Khalis and an ensuing power struggle between Mujahid and Haji Din Mohammad.[1]

In 2016, Anwar ul Haq pledged allegiance to the leadership of the Taliban.[2]

The organization has published a magazine and website.[3]
