Terrorism again raised its ugly head in US-occupied Afghanistan yesterday when a supposedly suicide bomber struck a gathering of religious scholars in Kabul on a day marking the birth anniversary of the Messenger of Mercy, Prophet Muhammad (SAWA), resulting in the death of scores of people and injury to numerous others.
Although no group has yet claimed responsibility, the attack bore hallmarks of the dastardly Daesh outfit, whose ranks have been swelled because of the airlifting to Afghanistan by the US of several thousand terrorists from Syria and Iraq.
American involvement cannot be ruled out in this latest act of terrorism in view of the importance of the Milad an-Nabi meeting at a wedding hall near the airport, where security ought to be tight, but was breached with ease because of obvious reasons.
The takfiri terrorists, under influence of Saudi Arabia’s heretical Wahhabi or Salafi cult, are known for their hatred of Islamic sanctities and of Muslims holding celebrations for the Prophet and the Saints, as expression of gratitude for their efforts in enlightening people with the light of Islam in accordance with divine commandments.    
It should be noted that the cowardly terrorist elements never risk their life while carrying out such attacks. The term ‘suicide attack’ actually means the handing of explosive-filled bags to unsuspecting persons, often with a hefty fee for the hapless carrier, by seemingly aged and pious-looking elders who give the slip, while their colleagues trigger the remote control blast from a safe distance.
Details of the blast that occurred at 1815 hours local time, including the number of the dead and the wounded as well as identity of the scholars targeted, are still unknown, although local officials have confirmed around 40 deaths and the serious conditions of scores of the injured. This means the casualty figure is likely to rise.
It would be naïve to think that security at a meeting of such magnitude and especially in these days when Afghanistan is in a festive mood of celebrating the birth anniversary of the Prophet of Peace, could be easily breached by any person, unless the American occupiers have not facilitated the entry of some strange uninvited person.
Of course, the US will be among the first countries to condemn Tuesday’s blast in Kabul in a bid to hide its involvement, but no one in his/her right mind believes Washington.
The Afghan people can ill afford to trust the lying Americans, whose agents, the Daesh terrorists, were not invited to Moscow for the Afghan peace talks that featured both the government’s representative and representatives of the Taliban.
This has probably angered the American occupiers, who are in no hurry to leave Afghanistan, until the whole country is totally destroyed, and more and more innocent lives are lost.
Afghanistan’s regular armed forces, poorly trained by the US, are no match for the high quality of training secretly given to the terrorists by these very same Americans.
The solution should be formation of popular militias, which could be trained in the proper manner, as in the case of similar militias in Syria and Iraq that have routed the Takfiris, and have the national/religious resolve to confront the terrorists and their backers.
The Islamic Republic of Iran, as part of its principled peace-promoting policy is willing to impart training to the people’s popular units for the fight against terrorism. It is worth noting that in all theatres of terrorism in the region, the US trained terrorists and their American weaponry have failed against committed popular forces trained by the Iranian military.
To sum up, the Afghan Muslim people ought to fearlessly mobilize themselves for the long hard battle ahead to cleanse their country of not just the Daesh terrorists, but their backers as well, and only Islamic Unity with focus on the dynamic personality of Prophet Muhammad (SAWA) will bring victories.
