The third-year medical student at Kandahar University was found dead with his throat cut Friday at around 11:00 am inside a mosque at the campus where he was studying. No parties or individual have immediately claimed responsibly for the beheading of Mohammad Moshtaq, a Kabul origin student who was studying in Kandahar, the birthplace of the Taliban militants. A classmate of decapitated Moshtaq, Abdul Haq is missing, classmates confirmed. According to Brig Gen Maituallah Safi Kandahar Police Chief, no arrest have yet been made but investigations have begun to identify the criminals. "There is a possibility that Moshtaq's missing friend has committed the murder, there is no prove for this yet," Gen Safi told a news conference on Saturday morning. A classmate of Moshtaq who is shocked after the incident and wished to remain anonymous said, Moshtaq was a simple student and he had no establishments to officials in Kandahar. Quqnoos's correspondent Mohammad Masumi in Kandahar said the university has no surrounding walls and according to students, unknown dangerous men were seen around over the past few days. Students warned to launch protest rally unless the men behind the murder of the student are identified and punished. Kandahar University Chancellor Dr Hazrat Mir Totakhel termed the incident a unique tragedy that happened at the campus of the university during the daylight. |
