[Tolo News] Gulbuddin Hekmatyar
... who used to be known as The Most Evil Man in the World but who now seems merely run-of-the-mill evil...
's Hezb-e-Islami Party Saturday condemned suicide kabooms.
How very odd. What brought that on? | Hekmatyar's deputy, Qutbuddin Helal, described suicide kabooms as "prohibited and cruel".
Killing civilians is a brutal act and the party sees any kind of attacks that causes civilian deaths, against Islamic practices and law, Mr Helal told TOLOnews.
"Killing civilians is prohibited. We cannot call it an Islamic act. Suicide attacks and firefights in public and civilian locations are not acceptable in Islam at all," said Mr Helal.
Seriously. What brought that on? It can't have been that long since Mr. Hekmatyar and his little friends were merrily killing anyone who didn't bow down to them. | He said presence of foreign forces in Afghanistan is the only thing causing such sort of attacks.
"And the attacks won't stop until the forces quit the country," he added.
Even though those attacking are endangering their mortal souls, not to mention whatever vengeance Allah might take against their friends, relations, countrymen... It just doesn't seem wise, defying one's all-powerful god like that. | Hekmatyar's deputy condemns suicide kabooms days after responsibility of a recent suicide kaboom in a supermarket in Kabul, that claimed civilian lives, was claimed by a front man to the party.
Almost two weeks ago, Kabul was shocked by the deadly suicide kaboom in which eight civilians bit the dust and 15 others were maimed. |
