Ghani vows relentless war against terror groups

Monitoring Desk

KABUL: President Mohammad Ashraf Ghani has vowed relent war against the terror groups after recent attacks in Kabul, Farah, and Helmand provinces as he insisted that such attacks would not affect the resolve of the nation for economic development.

Speaking during a gathering for the distribution of the property certificates in Herat province, President Ghani condemned the recent attacks and said the enemies of the country have once again committed crimes in Farah, Kabul, and Helmand provinces as the country is celebrating the inauguration of the TAPI gas pipeline works.

However, he said the enemies of the country must understand that the Afghan nation will have stronger resolve for economic development and to suppress the terror groups. This comes as a suicide bomber detonated his explosives in Kabul city earlier today amid reports at least two people were killed although the ministry of interior says at least one person has been killed and six others have been wounded.

The militants also launched coordinated attack on an army base in Farah province late last night with the ministry of defense saying at least eighteen soldiers were martyred in the attack. On the other hand, the local officials in Helmand are saying that two soldiers were martyred and nine others including civilians were wounded in three separate suicide blasts in Lashkargah city and Nad-e-Ali district.
