Taliban: Nigerian Islamic Group Condemns Suicide Bombing Explosion In Kabul Airport

The attacks that occurred outside of Afghanistan’s Hamid Karzai Airport on Thursday have been condemned by the Muslim Rights Concern (MURIC).

A dual blast killed about 13 people and injured over 72 others, according to reports.

Professor Ishaq Akintola, the Director of MURIC, released a statement condemning the incident on Thursday.

“Thirteen people were reportedly killed by a suicide bomber outside the Hamid Karzai International Airport, Kabul, Afghanistan. More than seventy-two (72) others were injured. About three (3) Americans were alleged to be among the injured,” the Islamic group said.

“We strongly condemn this terror attack. It was callous, cowardly, and barbaric. Any attack on unarmed civilians deserves the condemnation of civilized people.

“In particular, attacking Americans who are merely evacuating civilians is not only senseless but also baseless.

“This was not a war situation. Real men wait for a situation of hostilities before launching attacks.

“The Kabul Airport attack of Thursday was therefore cowardly, cold-blooded, and devoid of any scintilla of gallantry.

MURIC will not support any group that relies on violence and terror attacks to achieve its objective. We are the ‘dialogue’ group. Our motto is ‘Dialogue, No Violence’ and we have been committed to non-violence since the formation of our organization in 1994. Nothing can make us shift to this honorable position. Ours is an intellectual struggle.

“We remind the Taliban of its commitment to a peaceful exit of American troops. It is equally important to remind the Taliban of the high premium which Islam places on honor and the fulfillment of promises.

“The Glorious Qur’an chapter 23 verse 8 refers to those who keep their covenants and their trusts as true believers who will inherit al-Jannah (Paradise) and dwell there forever (Qur’an 23:1 – 11).

“We, therefore, charge the Taliban to keep to its agreement with the United States on the evacuation of both American troops and citizens.”
