Islamic Emirate committed to fighting ISIS in Afghanistan: Haqqani

In an interview with an Indian news channel on Friday, July 29, Afghanistan’s acting Interior Minister Sirajuddin Haqqani said that the al-Qaeda network does not have a military presence in Afghanistan and that the Islamic Emirate of Afghanistan (IEA) is bound by its commitments to the international community to fight ISIS.
Haqqani added that al-Qaeda does not have a military force in Afghanistan and that the network is no longer a threat to the security of the region and the world.
“As we have promised to the world also the Islamic world is in arms against the ISIS to control and throw it out; many steps have been taken with regard to al-Qaeda, it has no presence in Afghanistan and is no more a threat and the world is required not to feel threatened about the already dead outfit some Western forces which are trying to destabilize the country are being taken care of by the Islamic Emirate of Afghanistan to control and contain these forces,” said Haqqani.
“We have repeatedly said that the Treaty of Doha which was signed will be implemented in letter and spirit and our message to the world is that no such terror outfit will make Afghanistan its Center of Terror operation; our security agencies are competing to prevent and to nip such attempts in the bud and we are firmly united against such forces,” he added.
Haqqani describes India’s concern about the presence of Jaish-e-Mohammed (JEM) and Lashkar-e-Taiba (LeT) groups in Afghanistan as baseless and emphasized that the Islamic Emirate is ready to provide security to diplomatic missions of foreign countries, including India.
“India’s concern about the presence of Jaish-e-Mohammed and Lashkar-e-Taiba in Afghanistan is baseless, we want to have very close relations with India, such fear is baseless and undesirable,” said Haqqani.
Previously, several high-ranking officials of the Islamic Emirate have made assurances in interviews with the Indian media that they will ensure the security of diplomatic missions and political officials of this country, and New Delhi can continue its construction activities and complete unfinished projects with peace of mind.

Suicide bombing at Pakistan Islamic seminary kills six

A suicide bomber killed six worshippers during Friday prayers at an Islamic seminary in northwestern Pakistan.
The head of the religious school was among those killed, said provincial government spokesman Muhammad Ali Saif.
The dead man, Maulana Hamid-ul-Haq, was the son of the late Maulana Sami-ul-Haq.
No group immediately claimed responsibility for the attack.
The attacker, wearing an explosive-laden suicide vest, walked up to Haq as he was leaving a mosque on the premises of the Darul Uloom Haqqania seminary, his brother Maulana Abdul Haq said.
“Maulana Hamid-ul-Haq… died on the spot and around two dozen people were injured in the blast,” he said.
Regional police officer Najeebur Rahman said earlier that several people were wounded.
