Kabul – The Taliban government has announced that the acting Interior Minister, Sirajuddin Haqqani the Caliph, met with the families and heirs of the perpetrators of the suicide attacks on Monday (October 18th).
The meeting has taken place at the Intercontinental Hotel.
Haqqani told the meeting that he appreciated the “sacrifice of the Mujahideen and the martyrs,” adding that the suicide bombers were “heroes of Islam and the homeland.”
Sirajuddin Haqqani has also referred to the “suicide bombers” as “the heroes of the faithful nation.”
He has stressed that any betrayal of the ideals of the suicide bombers should be strictly avoided.
