“Some insurgents carried out attack in Ghazni,” said Taliban Spokesperson Zabihullah Mujahid.
The attack took place a day after President Ashraf Ghani and his rival Abdullah Abdullah signed an agreement for power-sharing, vowing to end months –long feud.
Last week, President Ashraf Ghani had ordered security officials to take strict action against the militants after two deadly attacks that claimed lives of dozens of innocent people.
The terrorists attack on Kabul Hospital was another horrific incident which took lives of 24 people including newborns and many others, triggering global outcry against the shocking attack. A suicide attack was also conducted by the terrorists at a funeral ceremony leaving 32 people dead on the spot.
President Ashraf Ghani said that these were militants and Islamic State group which carried out all these attacks. However, Taliban denied their role in all these attacks.
After Ghani’s order to security officials for action against the insurgents, Taliban said they would carry out attacks against them [Afghan security officials].
The recent incidents of terrorists’ attacks and suicide bombs badly damaged the peace process and dialogue for peace among different groups and the government in Afghanistan.
