AhlulBayt News Agency (ABNA): Senior Iraqi cleric Grand Ayatollah Bashir al-Najafi has strongly condemned the terrorist attack on buses carrying Shiites in the city of Parachinar, Pakistan.
In a statement issued by the office of senior Shia scholar Grand Ayatollah Bashir Najafi, he has condemned the attack on Shiites in Parachinar, Pakistan, and expressed regret over the Pakistani government's failure to maintain security in the region.
The text of the statement is as follows:
In the name of Allah, the Most Merciful
Today, with the announcement of yet another tragedy for our people in the city of Parachinar, which resulted in the martyrdom and injury of dozens of citizens in a treacherous, cruel, and aggressive manner, our grief has been renewed. We present our complaint to God and offer our condolences to Imam Zaman (PBUH) and also to the families of the martyrs and the injured for this painful tragedy.
Despite our warnings in previous statements and considering that what happened was under the supervision of the responsible officials, this tragedy shows their lack of seriousness in addressing the situation.
It is worth noting that on Thursday, November 21 Pakistan witnessed a terrorist attack that targeted Shiite buses on the Parachinar-Peshawar route, resulting in the martyrdom of more than 40 people.
