US-Backed Terrorists Behind Herat Bomb Blasts
By: Kayhan Int’l Staff Writer
What are the commonalities shared by the Zionists and the Daesh outfits?
Many, is the answer, but what the two terrorist groups relish the most is the thrill they get by killing and injuring fasting Muslims in the month of Ramadhan.
This is evident in both Palestine and Afghanistan, where the terroristic Zionist regime and the Daesh takfiri terrorists have stepped up their killing spree.
Terrorists have no religion, and it is a misnomer to refer to them as Jew, Muslim, Christian, Hindu, or Buddhist.
Wherever innocent blood is shed, it is the work of the devil and devilish elements, whose hatred of humanity differs from country to country, ranging from ethnicity to language and religion to sect.
In Afghanistan, the targets of the Godless terrorists are the Hazara people and the followers of the School of the Prophet’s Ahl al-Bayt popularly known as Shi’a Muslims.
The blast that rocked a playing field in the city of Herat in western Afghanistan last Friday has left over 30 casualties, including five martyrs.
According to reports the two bombs went off among civilians at a field used for traditional Afghan games, including wrestling and Buzkashi, played with horse-mounted players jostling with each other to carry a goatskin to the winning post.
The Islamic Republic of Iran has denounced this latest act of terrorism and has said it is the duty of the current rulers in Kabul to ensure the safety and security of Afghan citizens, whatever their ethnicity and the school of jurisprudence they follow.
In Tehran, the Foreign Ministry Spokesman has said Afghanistan’s ruling Taliban group should take responsibility for the security of the citizens and intensify measures to protect the Afghan people, especially the vulnerable ethnic and religious groups.
Saeed Khatibzadeh said: “The Islamic Republic of Iran is confident that our Muslim brothers and sisters in Afghanistan will thwart the divisive conspiracies of their enemies with empathy, solidarity, and joint efforts.”
It is obvious that the US, which is the power behind the illegal Zionist regime and its terrorism in Palestine, Syria, and Lebanon, is also the main supporter of the Daesh terrorists in Afghanistan, as well as in other countries, such as Syria and Iraq.
Unfortunately, Afghanistan has been in turmoil since the Taliban militia which had been in power in Kabul from 1996 to 2001 again came to power after end of the two-decade US occupation on August 15 last year.
