Larijani Urges US, NATO Not to Stand against Afghans' Will
TEHRAN (FNA)- Iranian Parliament Speaker Ali Larijani blamed the US and the NATO for the recent terrorist attacks in Afghanistan, and called on them to avoid standing against the will of the Afghan people.
"The US and NATO should clarify if they are involved in the recent assassinations or if they are incapable of establishing security in Afghanistan," Larijani said in an open session of the parliament on Wednesday.
The Iranian speaker reiterated that the result of both hypotheses is that the US and the NATO should stop standing against the will of the Afghan people and should leave the war-torn country.
"The recent assassinations in Afghanistan display the NATO and US security management and exemplify the heaven of democracy campaign against terrorism promised by the US and the NATO," he added.
Larijani made the remarks after former Afghan President, Burhanudin Rabbani was killed in a suicide bomb attack in Kabul last night.
Rabbani was the head of a high-profile council called Afghanistan's High Peace Council formed of former and present senior officials. He also was Afghanistan's president from 1992 to 1996, when the country went through a brutal civil war. His government was ousted by the Taliban in 1996.
Head of Karzai's High Council for Peace for 11 months, Rabbani fronted the government's attempts to broker peace with the Taliban.
In relevant remarks earlier today, Head of the Iranian Foreign Ministry's Afghanistan Headquarters Mohsen Pak-Ayeen condemned the US-led NATO forces in Afghanistan for the last night assassination of former Afghan President Burhanudin Rabbani.
"His assassination was aimed at an omission of a Mujahed who has fought for Afghanistan's independence for years and came as part of a chain of terror attacks which led to the killing of Davoud Zee and Ahmad Karzai," the diplomat stated.
"The NATO member states, and the US at the top of them, are responsible for this terror attack as they invaded Afghanistan under the excuse of establishing security and campaign against terrorism 10 years ago, but they have failed to restore security to Afghanistan.
"Foreign countries, headed by the US, are seeking to gain a permanent military deployment in Afghanistan and they martyr everyone who is opposed to their permanent presence, including Martyr Rabbani." Pak-Ayeen reiterated.
