Islamic Jihad hails ‘liberation’ of Afghanistan after Taliban conquest
Palestinian Islamic Jihad congratulates the Taliban on their conquest of Afghanistan, which the Palestinian terror group calls “the liberation of [Afghani] land from the Western and American occupation.”
“It has been the Muslim people which has performed the greatest jihadist heroics against all invaders over the course of their honorable history,” Islamic Jihad says in a statement.
“We pray to God Almighty to grant the Afghan people security, safety, might and peace, and to make them one, as they declare God’s oneness, under the banner of Islam,” the terror group adds.
