Independent political analyst Hashmatullah Moslih says Afghan doctors have indicated that most of the people injured in the Kabul Airport attack were allegedly shot by American soldiers.
Moslih was speaking to Radio Islam about a broad range of issues since the Taliban’s takeover of Afghanistan including the airport attack.
At least 100 people, including 13 U.S. service members and 90 Afghans were killed in the attack last week at the Hamid Karzai International Airport in Kabul, which was claimed by ISIS.
Moslih says Afghan doctors have painted a very different picture of what may have transpired during the attack at the Kabul Airport.
“Some Afghan doctors have said that most of the people who were injured were shot by gunshots from above, indicating that in the panic that following the bombing against the Americans, the American soldiers apparently fired on the civilians. So that needs to be investigated exactly as to what happened, but all the indications on Afghanistan’s social media and the people on the ground is that most of the casualties were caused by gunshots that the bullets came from above, not below.”
Moslih says ISIS sees the Taliban as another phase or another project of the Americans trying to install a government that is both Islamic and nationalist at the same time.
“What we know as Islamic state of Khilafat, they do not accept national boundaries, a nationalist state as such, so we have to wait and see how that’s going to play out. But at the moment there is also news that some American soldiers have volunteered to stay behind in one of the American bases in Pakistan to avenge the bombing in the airport.”
Moslih says while the Islamic State in Afghanistan is not that strong, it has gained a lot of support interestingly from Kabul University students.
