While talking at graduation ceremony of 400 cadets of the Kabul Military Academy, Murad vowed retaliation against cross-Durand Line rocket attacks of Pakistani army.
The remarks come at a time that wave deadly terrorist attacks in Kabul recently killed and injured more than 400 innocent civilians. Moreover, Pakistan’s cross-Durand Line incursions in Kunar and Paktika province erupted fighting between Afghan security forces and Pakistani army.
Atiqullah Amarkhel, a military analyst, told Azadi Radio that in a bid to cut Pakistan’s hand from interference in Afghanistan’s internal affairs, Kabul should overcome its internal differences.
