Iran Hopes for Taliban's Success in Fighting Terrorism

TEHRAN (FNA)- The Iranian embassy in Kabul condemned the recent terrorist attacks in Afghanistan which killed a large number of innocent people in the holy month of Ramadan, and wished success for the ruling body in the war-hit country in fight against terrorism.

 The Iranian mission warned in its twitter account on Friday that neither Sunni nor Shiite Muslims are safe in the face of criminal acts committed by extremist groups.

The statement was issued after a terrorist bombing at a Shiite mosque in the Afghan capital that left dozens of people dead.

“This embassy condemns the episode and hopes that the interim Afghan government would succeed in fighting terrorism and extremism and ensuring the security of the Afghan people,” part of the twitter post read.

On Friday afternoon, a powerful blast hit the Khalifa Sahib Mosque in the West parts of the Afghan capital, Kabul, killing at least 50 worshippers.

Several Afghan mosques have come under terrorist attacks over the past few weeks, leaving scores of people dead and many others injured.
