Taliban attacks in Kabul aimed to boost fighters’ morale after Mullah Salam death: Ghani
2017-03-03
[Khaama (Afghanistan)] President Mohammad Ashraf Ghani
...former chancellor of Kabul University, now president of Afghanistan. Before returning to Afghanistan in 2002 he was a scholar of political science and anthropology. He worked at the World Bank working on international development assistance. As Finance Minister of Afghanistan between July 2002 and December 2004, he led Afghanistan's attempted economic recovery until the Karzais stole all the money. ..
in reaction to the coordinated suicide kabooms in Kabul
...the capital of Afghanistan. Home to continuous fighting from 1992 to 1996 between the forces of would-be strongman and Pak ISI/Jamaat-e-Islami sock puppet Gulbuddin Hekmayar and the Northern Alliance, a period which won Hek the title Most Evil Man in the World and didn't do much for the reputations of the Northern Alliance guys either....
said the group is attempting to boost the morale of their fighters following the death of its most big shot Mullah Abdul Salam and the recent defeats the group sustained in the battleground.

Condemning the attacks in strongest words, President Ghanis said the terrorist groups once again attempted to spread fear and terror in Kabul city.

"Following the death of the terrorist group leader Mullah Abdul Salam in Kunduz and back to back defeats on the battleground, the group is attempting to boost the morale of its fighters by conducting terrorist attacks in crowded areas," he added.

President Ghani further added that the Afghan nation endorsed support in one voice to the Afghan National Defense and Security Forces during the national day of the defense forces.

He said the Afghan forces are on the frontline in the fight against terrorism more than any other time to eliminate them in all parts of the country.

The Taliban group grabbed credit behind the attacks conducted in Police District#6 and Police District#12 on Wednesday afternoon.

The latest information disclosed by the officials show at least 16 people bit the dust and more than 50 others were maimed although the casualties toll could further rise.
