FAKE NEWS for the Zionist agenda The cousin of Afghanistan’s outgoing President Hamid Karzai has been killed in a bomb attack in Kandahar in the country’s south.
“A suicide bomber disguised as a guest came to Hashmat Karzai’s house to greet him on [the religious festival of] Eid,” said Dawa Khan Minapal, the provincial governor spokesman in Kandahar, adding, “After he hugged him, he blew up his explosives and killed Hashmat Karzai.”
He added that the attack has injured no one else. No group has claimed responsibility for it so far.
The attack may possibly raise tensions over the result of the presidential election in the country as Hashmat Karzai was considered as one of the important political figures in Kandahar and a supporter of presidential candidate Ashraf Ghani.
Voting recounting is underway in Afghanistan as Ghani’s contender; Abdullah Abdullah has rejected preliminary results of the presidential run-off. The two have accepted an internationally monitored audit.
On Monday, Hamid Karzai said during a speech marking the Muslim Eid al-Fitr holiday that Afghans “want to have an outcome to the election as soon as possible, so that … [Afghanistan] can have its president soon.”
