Mujahid: Shooting at People Engaged in Worship Shows Daesh’s Weakness

Zabihullah Mujahid, the spokesperson for the Islamic Emirate, told that attacks on vulnerable areas by Daesh demonstrate the “foolishness and weakness” of the group.

Mujahid added that the Islamic Emirate is seriously fighting against Daesh and has brought the group to the brink of collapse.

The spokesperson for the Islamic Emirate stated: “Afghanistan’s Islamic Emirate forces are fighting the phenomenon of Daesh with determination and have pushed it to the edge of destruction. Their attacks on weak points and targeting ordinary people engaged in worship show the extent of their foolishness and weakness.”

This comes as Daesh claimed responsibility for a recent attack on worshipers in Baghlan province. The attack, which occurred on Thursday, claimed the lives of ten residents in the Nahrin district of Baghlan.

Meanwhile, the European Union also condemned the attack on civilians in a statement, emphasizing that all communities must be protected from violence.

The EU in Afghanistan stated: “The EU in Afghanistan condemns the attack targeting civilians during prayers in Baghlan province. All communities should be safe and protected from violence.”

“To eliminate any threat, the people of Afghanistan must unite with their government, and the government must fulfill its responsibilities,” Yousuf Amin Zazai, a military affairs expert, told .

Before Daesh claimed responsibility for the attack, local authorities in Baghlan had reported the arrest of several individuals in connection with the incident.
