President of Afghanistan Mohammad Ashraf Ghani, on Saturday (21 October) strongly condemned Friday's deadly mosque bombings in Kabul and in western Ghor province that left more than 70 people dead and 200 injured. He said the terror attacks on two holy places as well as on other places was inhuman and against all values and principles of Islam.

He claimed that terrorist groups are attempting to misuse Islam as a tool to reach to their targets of sparking tensions among the people and harm the unity of the Afghan people. He also said that terrorist groups should understand that they will never achieve their goals and will soon be eliminated by the Afghan security and defence forces.
