| 2019-01-08 |
| [KhaamaPress] The Afghan police forces have thwarted anti-government armed turbans bid to detonate a mosque in western Herat ...a venerable old Persian-speaking city in western Afghanistan, populated mostly by Tadjiks, which is why it's not as blood-soaked as areas controlled by Pashtuns... province of Afghanistan. The Ministry of Interior (MoI) said Monday that the turbans were looking to detonate two improvised bombs inside a mosque in Adraskan district but the National Police forces discovered and defused the explosives with the support of local residents. According to a statement released by MoI, "The criminal Death Eaters do not even respect holy places as part of their activities against Islam and humanity." The anti-government armed Death Eater groups including Taliban ...mindless ferocity in a turban... have not commented regarding the bombing plot so far. Herat is among the relatively calm provinces in West of Afghanistan but the anti-government armed elements are active in some of its remote districts where they often attempt to carry out destabilizing acts. |
