“After the recent incident that took place in one of the fronts of Rahman Corps; where 2 Mujahideen in their fortification points (Ribat points) were deceived and killed*. And after listening to the testimonies of some members of them, suspicions took place that members of the group may have been involved the assassination issue. And after a request by the Military Justice for the leader of the group to hand over the defendants, he remiss the subject and then he evaded the extradition, so a support force of the Corps intervened to bring them in, and they started shooting at the support force and killed one of its members and injured others and we were surprised by some civilians who came down to the street although this issue is a blood and a rule issue, and strange thing is that both persons who were killed in the point are persons of their own town!! ?? And they came in between the force and the members of the group and the force of the military justice was unable to complete its task. Accordingly, we hold the responsibility of what happened to those who moved the strife (and temptation) in the neighborhood and used the mosque for something else of what ALLAH have ordered, and we remind them that they sheltered criminal causers, and we remind them of what is stated in the Sahih that the Prophet peace be upon him said that whoever invents an innovation or accommodates an innovator, then upon him is the curse of Allah, and we say to these rogue killers and for those who help them: Our hand will reach them soon and they will receive their just punishment. And we call our people in Arbin to be helpers of the right and for the void to let down”.
* Deceiving-and-killing in Islam is called Gheela (of Ghila), and its punishment may be death in most of the cases.
