AT LEAST 48 PERISH IN SUNNI ISLAMIST TERRORIST ATTACKS IN AFGHANISTAN
At least 48 people
have perished after two brutal suicide terrorist attacks in Afghanistan by
Sunni Islamists belonging to the Taliban. One terrorist attack was in the
vicinity of the United States embassy in Kabul, while the other struck in the
province of Parwan shortly before President Ashraf Ghani was going to address
the crowd.
Hence, the Taliban and
ISIS (Islamic State) are able to launch terrorist attacks with impunity. According
to reports, the Taliban claimed both terrorist attacks. This comes after recent
talks between America and the Taliban broke down.
The Taliban is
determined to derail the presidential election in Afghanistan that is due to
take place on September 28. Thus, the Taliban stipulated, “We already warned
people not to attend election rallies, if they suffer any losses that is their
own responsibility.”
President Ashraf Ghani
said, “Kabul was also hit by the coward enemy and again the target was civilian
lives. I offer my heartfelt condolences to victims of today’s tragedies in
Kabul and Parwan and pray for speedy recovery of those who were wounded. We
stand united in this hour of grief.”
Sadly, it appears that
more terrorist attacks will follow because the Taliban doesn’t want the current
government to entrench its power via the ballot box. This pattern is all too
familiar during elections. Therefore, the latest terrorist attacks by the
Taliban are a firm reminder that power concentration remains elusive for the
current leader of this nation based on the potency of Sunni Islamic terrorism.
