MoI Accepts Involvement of Insiders in Kabul Terrorist Attacks

The Ministry of Interior (MoI) accepts that the recent terrorist attacks in Kabul have been taken place in cooperation of internal and influential people in the country.

“Despite terrorist attacks organize outside the country but without a doubt they have their influential people inside the country,” said Nasrat Rahimi, deputy spokesman of MoI.

Afghan military analyst are said to believe that identifying influential people would be possible if the government really wants to investigate.

“The government can easily identify, track and arrest anyone with their facilities in hands,” said Jawid Kohestani, military analyst.

Afghanistan’s capital Kabul has suffered three deadly attacks in a little over one week.

In the most recent violence, 11 members of the Afghan National Army were killed at a military academy early Monday morning. Sixteen others were injured.

The deadly attack involved a suicide bombing and a long gun battle. It took place near the Marshal Fahim National Defense University.

The Taliban was blamed for a bomb attack in Kabul Saturday that killed at least 103 people and injured more than 200. Officials say an ambulance filled with explosives caused the damage.

One week earlier, a group of militants stormed the Intercontinental Hotel in Kabul killing 22 people. Fourteen foreigners were among those killed. The U.S. State Department has confirmed that Americans were among those killed but details have not yet been released.
