The Wazarat-e Amaniat-e Dowlati (literally "Ministry of State Security") or WAD, is a former intelligence agency of the former Democratic Republic of Afghanistan, which succeeded KHAD. The WAD was disbanded in 1992 before the start of the 2nd Afghan Civil War. Despite the name change, most of the rank and file are dominated by Parchamis.

The Sarandoy reportedly cooperates with WAD agents.
