IS came in search of Hazara community in northern Afghanistan, attacked with machine guns.
The Islamic State has claimed responsibility for this week’s deadly attack in the northern Baghlan province of Afghanistan.
Ten workers were killed and 16 people were injured in this attack. The attack took place in the HALO Trust of the Demining Organization.
In a statement issued late on Wednesday night, the IS militants had opened fire with machine guns. According to eyewitnesses, the gun-wielding attackers were on the lookout for people from the Hajaras community.
Let us tell you that in most parts of Afghanistan, they are Shia Muslims. Whereas in northern Afghanistan it is a Sunni Muslim.
It is not yet clear whether the IS gunmen were aware of the presence of Hazaras among the Sunni Muslims present there.
Recalling the horrors of the attack, Sheikh Mohammad, who was undergoing treatment for a wound in his leg, said that the attackers had asked, ‘Who is Hazara in all of you? And who among you works with the Taliban?’
Let us tell you that under the Taliban rule in Afghanistan, the Hazara community was exploited a lot. Taliban terrorists not only attack the Hazara community but also mistreat the women of the community.
