| [ALMANAR.LB] A terrorist bomb planted inside the Grand Mosque in Syria's Damascus went off on Friday, killing the Imam Sheikh Salman al-Afandi, state-run TV reported. Local sources told SANA news agency that a terrorist group planted the IED under the platform of the mosque and detonated it during the Imam's speech. Sheikh Afandi was martyred at once, and five other worshippers were maimed. The kaboom caused much destruction inside the mosque. In a statement issued afternoon, the Ministry of Awqaf announced the martyrdom of Sheikh Afandi, stressing that the blood of the deaders "will only increase our determination to defeat the takfiri ...an adherent of takfir wal hijra, an offshoot of Salafism that regards everybody who doesn't agree with them as apostates who most be killed... terrorism and forces of darkness and evil anytime, anywhere." |
