“This was an act by terrorists who are the gifts of Pakistan,” said Obaidullah Barikzai, an MP from Kandahar.

Obaidullah Barikzai, an MP from Kandahar, whose son – Hafizullah Barikzai - was killed in the attack on Helmand MP Mir Wali’s house in Khoshal Khan, PD5, in Kabul, on Wednesday night, said the siege was ‘an act of terror’ by those who take orders from a number of circles in Pakistan.  

“This was an act by terrorists who are the gifts of Pakistan,” Barikzai said.

Meanwhile, Mir Wali’s family called the killing of their two young children, Mustafa and Ahmad Zia, a big crime.

Mustafa and Ahmad Zia were the two young grandsons of the MP who lost their lives in the attack.

“The bodies of Mustafa and Ahmad Zia were lying on the ground when I arrived here [at the house]. I called for the Special Forces’ help to remove the bodies,” said Mohammad Anwar, one of Mir Wali’s relatives.

Hafizullah Barikzai, who recently got engaged, had a master’s degree in journalism from India.
