Public criticism continues to mount on the Afghan government and the country’s security agencies for not providing details about the November 7 attack on Central Bank officials in Kabul that killed three people including former TOLOnews presenter Yama Siawash.
Family of Ahmadullah Anas, who was killed in the attack, once again leveled strong criticism against the Afghan government for not sharing details of their investigation about the perpetrators who plotted the deadly attack.
Anas’s brother said that no government institution bothered to provide any clue and details about the nature of the attack, the motives and the plotters.
First Vice President Amrullah Saleh on Saturday said that the probe into the attack is underway. His office said last week that the government has shared the details of the attack with the National Directorate of Security (NDS).
“Its now 20 days that I am gong to the bank and coming back, but I couldn’t manage to meet Mr. Ahmadi (the acting governor of the Central Bank),” said Mahboobullah, brother of Anas.
Anas, 36, has survived by his wife his daughter.
Anas was a graduate of the engineering faculty and was expected to obtain his masters degree on business management in the near future.
“The killers of my brother and his colleagues Yama Siawash and the other brother should be punished,” added Mahboobullah.
Main questions about the blast:
Where was the vehicle on which the bomb was placed a day before or hours before the explosion and how the bomb was placed on it?
What does the GPS information say?
Why isn’t the information shared with the media? Has the media demanded access to the confidential information of the Central Bank ?
“The government according to its commitments should be responsive to the media and let them to check the cameras,” said Makhdom Ebdalullah Mohammadi, an MP.
The Central Bank acting chief Ajmal Ahmadi so far has not responded to the questions by the media, however; the bank in a statement said that CCTV footage and GPS information have been shared with the intelligence and security agencies.
Recently, Yama Siawash’s father, in a letter strongly criticized the Central Bank and the Afghan government’s approach to the attack and said they will submit a complaint to the International Criminal Court in The Hague if the Afghan government fails to investigate the incident.
“The Afghan government is obliged to inform the families of the victims about the incident. The government can also consult families of the victims for the necessary information that can be helpful for the investigation,” said Wahid Farzayee, a legal expert.
