Attorney General Promises Impartial Probe into Rally Attack

Attorney General Promises  Impartial Probe into Rally Attack

KABUL - Afghanistan's Attorney General Farid Hamidi on Tuesday pledged to carry out a transparent, just and impartial probe into the deadly blast on Saturday in Kabul that left 84 dead and 304 wounded.
Speaking in a televised broadcast, Hamidi urged the Enlightenment Movement and the public to cooperate with the commission in its investigation.
"One of the characteristics of the commission compared to other commissions is that it has other duties besides probing the incident; therefore, I want to assure people that the commission's assessments will be just, neutral and transparent," he said.
He said that the commission, after completing its investigation, will ensure justice is brought and that no one will be pardoned if found guilty.
"Justice will be implemented and justice will be ensured on anyone, anywhere," he added.
Meanwhile, families of victims have called on the commission to conduct their investigation independently.
"My son was divided into pieces. Now what will the commission do about my pain and sorrows - that I have gained from this incident?" asked one mother.
Meanwhile, the Chief Executive Abdullah Abdullah said at the Council of Ministers Meeting on Tuesday: "This is an act by Afghanistan's enemies as they once claim responsibility for an incident but the next time they reject the responsibility."

The deadly attack sparked world-wide condemnation, and countless countries sent messages of condolences to the government and people of Afghanistan.(Tolonews)
