AhlulBayt News Agency (ABNA): Referring to the terrorist attack on the Shia mosque in Herat, Ayatollah Mohammad Hashim Salehi, the head of the Afghan Shia Ulama Council, said that last year, Taliban security officials had assured that the perpetrators of such events would be punished for their actions.

He made these statements at the meeting of the Executive Council of Shia Ulamas of Afghanistan and added: Once again, the terrorists martyred Hojjat-ul-Islam Javid, the Imam and some other believers in the Herat pass area.

"Last year, after the martyrdom of some members of Herat's Shia Ulama Council, the security officials of the Taliban assured that they will deal with any kind of extremism and insecurity and punish those responsible for their actions," he added.

He further stated that it is expected that religious, cultural and social centers of Shiites in Afghanistan will continue to operate in full security; Because such terrorist incidents have a negative effect on the morale of the people of this country.



In a statement in response to the terrorist attack in Herat, the Afghan Shia Ulama Council emphasized: It was expected that with the rule of the Taliban in Afghanistan, we will not see the repetition of such incidents; but unfortunately, it didn't happen.

It is worth mentioning that during the last few days, seven worshipers, including a number of women and children, were martyred in the terrorist attacks of ISIS terrorists on one of the Shia mosques in Herat in western Afghanistan.
