Prominent Cleric Killed in Herat, Second in a Week
Mawlavi Mohammad Kababyani, a prominent cleric, was slain by unknown armed men in front of his house in Anjil district of Herat.
“Any ideology or any scholar who tries to give hope and peace to the people or support the Islamic Republic of Afghanistan is being targeted,” said Sayed Wahid Qatali, the governor of Herat.
Clerics in Herat condemned the assassination.
“Two people riding on motorbike stood in front of him and said they had a question, and then they shot at Mawlavi and killed a vibrant and prominent scholar of this country,” said Sayed Abu Bakr.
