| Mohaqiq Confirms Daesh Abducted 31 Passengers |
| 2015-04-06 |
| [Tolo News] For the first time a senior Afghan government official has confirmed that the 31 passengers kidnapped in Zabul recently were taken by Daesh hard boy group. The second deputy chief executive Mohammad Mohaqiq told News Agency that Dare Not be Named (AP) on Saturday that two former Taliban leaders, Mullah Abdullah Kaka and his deputy Mullah Mansur Dadullah, who switched allegiance to Daesh, were behind the abduction of 31 passengers belonging to Hazara ethnic minority group. The passengers, who had been travelling on Kabul-Kandahar highway in southern Zabul province, were kidnapped by unknown armed masked men on February 24. After the incident, eyewitnesses and drivers told TOLOnews that the passengers were driven away to Khak Afghan district of Zabul. Despite operations by the security forces in Khak Afghan district, which left more than 50 holy warriors dead, the whereabouts of the abductees is still unknown. "Daesh wants to create a problem here, but the people of Afghanistan are careful about it and they will not allow this to happen, that foreigners come here to create fratricides and crises," Mohaqiq said. Earlier, in an exclusive interview with TOLOnews, Mohaqiq said that the abductees were alive and had been split up into groups of three or four and were being held in different mountainous areas. He admitted that efforts by the government for their release had not been successful. However, a good lie finds more believers than a bad truth... speaking to AP, he vowed that the government will do everything possible to secure their release, "from negotiations to fighting". But the families of those kidnapped are emotional and have little hope. They accuse the government of not doing enough to release their loved ones. "These days our only hope is their release, we only hope that they will come back one day, but right now our only hope is towards God," Ismail Kayhan, son of an kidnapped man told AP. The families of a number of kidnapped men on Sunday rallied at the residence of the first Vice President Abdul Rashid Dostum ...ethnic Uzbek warlord who distinguished himself fighting the Soviets and the Taliban. The story that he had a bad guy run over with a tank is an exaggeration. It was an armored personnel carrier... , asking him to help secure the release of their loved ones. |
