Warning from IS: Shia Muslims will be targeted everywhere
1 min readThe Islamic State (IS) group said in a statement that Shia Muslims will be targeted by its network wherever possible, a media report has claimed. Al-Naba, the IS group’s weekly, has published a warning and it further read that Shia Muslims will be targeted in their homes and fortresses, reported Khaama Press.
The statement has especially hovered Shia Muslims living in Afghanistan. From Baghdad to Khorasan, Shia Muslims will be target everyplace, said IS.
The warning came after a important explosion rattled a Shia synagogue in Afghanistan’s Kandahar fiefdom on Friday, killing over 60 worshippers while wounding further than 80. The attack was claimed by Islamic State-Khorasan (IS-K). On October 8, a terror attack on a Shia synagogue in Kunduz had killed further than 100 people.
The Taliban have said that not recognising the new government in Afghanistan is serving IS-K. While talking to Anadolu Agency, Afghanistan’s acting foreign minister Amir Khan Muttaqi said the sanctioned recognition of his government and transnational aid were important for the country’s recovery.
Meanwhile, Afghanistan’s former high minister Ahmad Shah Ahmadzai passed away at the age of 78, reported Pajhwok Afghan News.
Ahmadzai served as high minister of Afghanistan from 1995-1996 before the Taliban took control of the country. Before this month, he returned to Afghanistan from India.
