Key Officials Arrested Over Kabul University Attack
2020-11-06
[ToloNews] 13 coppers, including key security officials were arrested and referred to the court over the Kabul University attack, said the Kabul police front man, Ferdaws Faramarz.

The police chief and head of police intelligence department of PD3 and head of the security department of the Kabul University are among the arrested officials and referred to the court over "negligence" in ensuring the security of University, said Faramarz.

On Monday, at least 22 people were killed and over 40 others were maimed after two button men attacked Kabul University which was ended after six hours festivities.

In total, 18 students, 16 students from the Public Administration Faculty and two of them from the Law Faculty, bit the dust in the attack.

The attackers had military uniforms, eyewitnesses said.

ISIS has grabbed credit for the blast.

But First Vice President Amrullah Saleh blamed the Taliban
...mindless ferocity in a turban...
for the Kabul University attack and said there are many evidences to prove his claim.

Giving details about his daily morning meetings with security officials, Saleh said the weapons used by the attackers do not match the weapons shown by "fake" ISIS statement in which they grabbed credit for the attack.

Saleh said the two men shown in "fake" ISIS statement do not resemble the "terrorists" killed in Kabul University attack.

He also said that the Taliban flag was also found in a box belonged to the "terrorists." He added that the last words they wrote on the walls of the classrooms were "long live Taliban."

But the Taliban has rejected Saleh’s claim.
